Large-scale moral machine experiment on large language models. by Muhammad Shahrul Zaim Bin Ahmad, Kazuhiro Takemoto

“…These findings suggest that while increasing model size may naturally lead to more human-like moral judgments, practical implementation in autonomous driving systems requires careful consideration of the trade-off between judgment quality and computational efficiency. Our comprehensive analysis provides crucial insights for the ethical design of autonomous systems and highlights the importance of considering cultural contexts in AI moral decision-making.…”
