purplecat: Satirical take on the famous stick person illustration of the Trolley problem.  Lots of trolleys, lots of tracks, lots of people tied to them,  lots of switches. (General:Ethics)
Today was full of talks. The theme of the workshop is Normative Reasoning for AI, but some of the talks seemed more like logic (or theorem proving) theory talks - perhaps that is a natural consequence of mixing communities. I'm talking tomorrow morning on the UK Highway Code - I do so because the organiser suggested it, but he's now denying responsibility and says he's happy for me to talk about verifying machine ethics if I want to. This is tempting. I have a much more solid body of work on machine ethics than I do on the Highway Code. On the other hand the Highway Code talk is now written and cheese is being served in 10 minutes - so if I start writing a talk on machine ethics I will miss out on cheese. There are gaps in the schedule, so I will tell the room tomorrow morning that I could give a "lightening talk" on machine ethics if they really want one, and then the assembled worthies can decide.
