The responsibility gap: Ascribing responsibility for the actions of learning automata
Explore this paper's citation graph
Summary
Autonomous, learning machines, based on neural networks, genetic algorithms and agent architectures, create a new situation, where the manufacturer/operator of the machine is in principle not capable of predicting the future machine behaviour any more, and thus cannot be held morally responsible or liable for it.
