Скачать или смотреть The Ultimate Thought Experiment: The Death of Humanity by Autonomous Car?

If a self-driving car kills a child and the law says it’s nobody’s fault, can you simply "delete" your guilt? Or does doing so delete your humanity?

In this deep dive into the Philosophy of Technology, we confront the terrifying reality of the Responsibility Gap. We explore the clash between the "Suspension School"—which argues we must suspend old moral intuitions for the sake of progress—and the "Veto School," which warns that doing so leads to the Alienation of Humans and the Death of Man.

Using Bernard Williams’ concept of "Agent Regret" and the dilemma of Moral Luck, we analyze why treating humans as "components" in a technological system (Means) rather than the purpose of existence (Ends) might be the most dangerous mistake we ever make.

🚀 In this video, we cover:

The Responsibility Gap: Who is to blame when an AI kills? The Manufacturer, the Owner, or the Algorithm?

The Suspension School vs. Veto School: Should we ban autonomous cars or banish our guilt?

Technological Alienation: How gene editing, cloning, and AI are turning humans into "means" for the system's "ends."

Moral Luck & Agent Regret: Why you cannot (and should not) turn off your conscience, even when you are legally innocent.

The Death of Man: The ultimate consequence of a society that maximizes efficiency over humanity.

🧠 Key Concepts Analyzed:

The Responsibility Gap (AI Ethics)

Moral Luck (Thomas Nagel / Bernard Williams)

Agent Regret (The psychological burden of accidental harm)

Human-Centrism (Putting people first in tech development)

Technological Alienation (Marxist/Existentialist view on technology)

👇 Join the Discussion: Which school of thought do you belong to? If an autonomous car saves 1,000 lives overall but kills one innocent person due to a "bug," is that an acceptable price? Or is the loss of a moral subject too high a cost? Let me know in the comments!
