Autonomous vehicles (AVs) are increasingly proposed as a solution towards addressing urbanisation challenges in smart city initiatives, such as congestion, pollution, road safety and transport accessibility. However, their socio-economic and environmental benefits can be hampered by new technological risks...
The benefits of autonomous vehicles (AVs) are widely acknowledged, but there are concerns about the extent of these benefits and AV risks and unintended consequences. In this article, we first examine AVs and different categories of the technological risks associated with them. We then explore ...
Autonomous vehicles, for example, could cause accidents if they malfunction or fail to respond appropriately to unexpected situations. Similarly, robots used in manufacturing or healthcare could harm humans if they make errors or operate in unanticipated ways. To mitigate these risks, rigorous safety ...
One problem on the rise as AI is increasingly adopted is AI misuse. With autonomous vehicles and weapons being developed by militaries, this raises the prospect of weapons falling into the hands of the wrong people. Data discrimination AI-powered devices can readily gather, process, and store ma...
These concerns apply not only to high-profile cases, such as deaths caused by autonomous vehicles, but also to more commonplace but still significant uses, such as in automated decisions about parole or creditworthiness. Yet the relationship between the degree and quality of agency that people ...
Another benefit of AI technology is innovation. From autonomous vehicles topersonalized medicine, AI technology is driving new advancements and breakthroughs in a variety of fields. AI technology has the potential to transform industries and improve our lives in countless ways. ...
1. Safety: AI can pose significant risks to individuals and society if it is not developed and deployed safely. For example, autonomous vehicles that are not properly regulated could cause accidents that result in injury o...
These concerns apply not only to high-profile cases, such as deaths caused by autonomous vehicles, but also to more commonplace but still significant uses, such as in automated decisions about parole or creditworthiness. Yet the relationship between the degree and quality of agency that people ...
The head of the National Transportation Safety Board expressed concern Wednesday about the safety risks that heavy electric vehicles pose if they collide with lighter vehicles.
In November, 14 members of Congress signed letters to 10 China-related companies involved in the auto sector, raising concerns over the handling of data collected when testing autonomous vehicles in the United States. Besides autos, Biden issued an executive order this week aimed at limiting the ...
