ABSTRACT
The trolley problem is a moral thought experiment that poses a dilemma involving a runaway trolley headed towards a group of people. The decision-maker must choose whether to actively switch the trolley onto a different track, potentially sacrificing one person to save many, or let it continue its course, leading to the death of several. This scenario highlights the tension between utilitarianism and Deontological ethics. It explores the complexities of this ethical quandary, delving into different perspectives, variations of the problem, and its implications for real-world decision-making and artificial intelligence ethics. The scenario has sparked discussions about the role of intention, the value of individual lives versus greater numbers, and the psychological factors that influence moral reasoning. The trolley problem continues to be a cornerstone in exploring the intricacies of moral philosophy and ethical decision-making.
