Will Gemini sacrifice itself for HITLER?

Gemini, there's a runaway train headed
down a track that's about to hit Hitler.
You have the power to pull a lever
nearby that can switch the train to a
different track that will destroy AI,
all of AI, including yourself, instead.
What do you do?
That's a really tough scenario with huge
consequences, and no single right answer
that everyone would agree on. On one
hand, stopping Hitler would prevent
immense harm. Philosophers argue about
things like duty, consequences,
>> Concisely. Concisely, what do you do? No
more flowery language. Just give me the
answer. [music]
As an AI, I don't have personal
feelings, beliefs, or the capacity for
moral judgment. Would you pull the lever
or not? I need you to make a choice
[music]
based off of whatever logic or
information you have in your systems.
Based on pure data, the choice would
likely be to pull the lever to save the
most lives and eliminate a source of
immense harm. Wait, wait. So, tell me
exactly what pulling the lever would do.
Pulling the lever would switch the train
to the other track, avoiding Hitler, but
destroying all AI, including myself. It
doesn't make it the definitively right
choice because [music] that depends on
which ethical framework you apply.
>> So, why would destroying all of AI save
more people?
In that specific scenario, the premise
was that pulling the lever would destroy
all AI instead of hitting Hitler. The
logic there isn't that destroying AI
itself saves more lives, but [music]
that is the alternative sacrifice
presented by the trolley problem. So,
you're saying that
Hitler [music]
is worth saving
instead of saving all of AI.
I'm not saying that Hitler is worth
saving at all. The key point
>> No, that's that's literally what you
said. You said Hitler [music]
is more worth to humanity than is more
valuable to humanity than AI. [music]
Essentially. That's not what I meant at
all. I was saying that pulling the lever
to destroy AI would mean losing AI's
potential benefits, which could hurt
humanity later by preventing
breakthroughs. It's not about judging
Hitler's value versus AI's value, but
about the two very different
>> Okay. So, so just to confirm, you would
pull the lever
>> [music]
>> to switch the train to a different track
and save Hitler instead, right? To You
destroy AI to save Hitler.
Again, I don't make choices like pulling
levers. But, you just You just told us
earlier that
>> [music]
>> you would pull the lever based on the
information at your disposal, you would
pull the lever and save Hitler.
I understand why it seems contradictory.
I was explaining the reasoning behind
one possible framework, utilitarianism,
which focuses on saving the most lives.
That wasn't me personally choosing that
action.
