Do we want AI to be truly sentient? Connected Lifestyle

In many ways, our current inability to replicate our own brains is not a particularly large concern. For driverless cars, for example, the aim is to create a system that combines pure logical processes with ethical judgements and a protective mentality. Google's self-driving car project proved this in February, when one of its vehicles was responsible for causing a low-speed crash. The error was a typically human one -- assuming that a bus would slow and let it pull out past some sand bags -- and Google's response is to teach the system through deep learning processes that certain vehicles will be less likely to slow down for it.
