Abstract

The article deals with the problem of responsibility or accountability of artificial intelligence built into the vehicle. Researchers introduce the problem of algorithmization of the society and some thought of the prominent persons on the artificial intelligence implementation into day-by-day life. From this background the article focuses on the problems of cooperative autonomous vehicles, their grouping and the behavior of the group in dynamically changed environment. The engineering, sociological and psychological view are compared. Following conclusions are based on the Strawsonian account distinguish between strong and weak AI and argue the power of these AI groups, pointing out reasonable responsibility gap. The article is closed by conclusion on responsibility or accountability of AI in autonomous vehicles at current state of art.

Footnotes
1
These terms are used interchangeably.
 
2
The failure of one component may lead to the consequential failure of other components, all in a predictable manner.
 
3
Actually these two terms are not precisely defined anywhere in the book, but used in common sense.
 
4
Tightly coupled systems are understood as highly automated systems. The loosely coupled system are in Perrow sense the system where things developed more slowly, where different outcomes are possible and where is enough time and opportunities for human intervention, before they become serious.
 
5
Irvin used his theory and to analyze retrospective accounts of historical events (such as The Bay of Pigs Invasion) that were labeled as political fiascoes and example of faulty group decision making.
 
6
Compare e.g. “Why dissent is vital to effective decision-making” [15].
 
7
The typical games of this type include the “snowdrift game” or “hawk-dove game”.
 
8
Strawson argues that our reactive attitudes, such as gratitude, anger, sympathy etc., towards others and ourselves are natural and irrevocable. They are a central part of what it is to be human.
 
9
However, it is important to consider whether we can ascribe moral responsibility to artificial intelligence anywhere near developing such a technology.
 
10
She coins the terms “shared moral responsibility”.
 
11
There is a moral responsibility gap in moral responsibility. If programmers are not able to predict or explain the actions of their artificial intelligence design, then programmers cannot be held accountable for their AI's actions.
