The Different Factors Affected In The Moral Machine Experiment

Abstract

In moral machine experiments, the test results are affected by many factors, eventually leading to the deviation of people's choices in different regions. First of all, regional differences have become one of the primary reasons for the inconsistent experimental results. In addition to geographical differences, this paper examines what other factors in human society influence people's basic ideas. This passage discusses the difference between individualism and collectivism, country-level economic inequality, prosperity (GDP per capita), quality of rules and institutions (the Rule of Law), and the gender gap. This paper clearly describes how each influence factor contributes to the experiment's results and how it manifests itself in the population. At the same time, several examples will be given to illustrate whether these factors are valid when applied to reality. After studying the case and analyzing factors, it is concluded that the above factors significantly impact the experiment results.
