Copyright: © 2019 |Pages: 25
DOI: 10.4018/978-1-5225-8401-8.ch008
Abstract
In the near future, people and artificial intelligences (AIs) will often be working together. This will require special training for both the people and the AIs. Virtual reality (VR) used for training may come into its own, especially in situations where the people and the AIs must move quickly and safely together. This chapter looks at just such training. In this story, “The Triceratops,” the AIs are in charge of the training; they also control the future employment opportunities of people. This brings out a number of ethical considerations and practical considerations when people's lives are controlled by AIs in important ways, even in training.
