Part of the problem of humans not understanding AI decision-making stems from how AI works today. In a recent study, most participants agreed that autonomous vehicles should be programmed to make difficult ethical decisions, such as killing the car's occupant instead of ten pedestrians in the absence of any other options. Under the new DARPA four-year grant, researchers will work to develop a platform that facilitates communication between humans and AI to serve this very purpose. Later, the researchers will adapt these findings to robotics and autonomous aerial vehicles.
