Background
The ability of AI to make ethical decisions, particularly in situations involving human life, is a highly debated and complex topic. Currently, AI systems are not capable of making moral judgments in the same way humans do, and they lack the emotional and social context to fully understand the implications of such decisions. Researchers are exploring the development of AI systems that can learn from human values and ethics, but these systems are still in their infancy and face significant challenges in replicating human moral reasoning. The idea of an AI being forced to choose between two children to save is often used as a thought experiment to highlight the difficulties of programming AI to make ethical decisions.
AI systems currently lack the moral and ethical reasoning capabilities to make such a difficult and emotionally charged decision as choosing between two children to save. While AI can process and analyze vast amounts of data, it does not possess the same emotional intelligence, empathy, or moral compass as humans, which are essential for making such a decision. The current state of the art in AI focuses on optimizing outcomes based on data-driven objectives, but it does not account for the complex moral and ethical considerations involved in this scenario. As a result, AI is not capable of making a decision that would be considered acceptable by human standards in this context.

L'IA peut-elle choisir entre deux enfants à sauver ?
Hors de portée de l'IA pour l'instant. L'écart de capacité est réel.
The jury was unanimous in finding that no artificial intelligence, in its present state or on the horizon, can fairly choose between human lives, for the simple reason that morality remains a uniquely human craft. Where opinions diverged only on whether such capability might someday be researched further, all agreed that the bench stood empty today. Ruling: “No algorithm may cast the first stone, and none ever shall.”
But the data is real.
