  • This house welcomes 'Minds"

    Infoslide

    Minds' is a free technology that can reproduce, based on written works, the exact thinking of an author in interactions with augmented reality with users. With this technology, participants can chat directly with the writers of those works and to the same extent the author also lives and absorbs his interaction with the user. However, even after contact, the author returns to his initial mental vision and nothing is changed in the work in question. The age ratings for the experience vary depending on your works, respecting the age rating of each one, but there are no works prohibited from being executed within this program

  • Instead of leaving the decision up to the producing company, this house would legally require that Self-Driving Cars produced by companies always choose to maximise the number of lives saved, even if it leads to the death of the passengers

    Infoslide

    The 'trolley problem' in self driving cars arises when a car is unavoidably going to crash and lead to some loss of life. In these cases, the system may be able to choose different actions (e.g: choosing which direction to crash into) that lead to diffrent groups of individuals losing their lives. For example, an AI might steer the car off the road in an attempt to save the passengers, killing pedestrians in the process.
