Question 14
A smart city initiative deploys an AI-based traffic management system designed to optimize vehicle flow. However, citizens report that the system prioritizes car traffic over pedestrian safety, causing frequent delays and unsafe crossings for people on foot. What design improvement would BEST align the system with a human-centric AI approach?
- A Increase system autonomy to fully automate all traffic signals with no human input
- B Redesign the system to balance vehicle flow with pedestrian safety and autonomy, ensuring human needs and well-being are central to traffic decisions
- C Restrict pedestrian crossings to off-peak hours to avoid disrupting vehicle traffic
- D Optimize for maximum vehicle throughput, regardless of pedestrian impact
Reveal correct answer
Correct answer: B
Explanation
A human-centric AI system must respect and prioritize human well-being and values, not just efficiency or automation.A. Fully removing human input can undermine human needs and values.
B. Human-centric AI puts people's values and safety first, even if it means less efficient traffic flow for vehicles.
C. Restricting pedestrian movement reduces autonomy and ignores well-being.
D. Maximizing vehicle flow at the expense of pedestrians contradicts human-centric design.
