Una città propone di usare i dati di sorveglianza per identificare potenziali minacce tramite algoritmi predittivi, ma ciò comporterebbe tracciare costantemente i movimenti di tutti i cittadini. Accetti di sacrificare la tua privacy per una maggiore sicurezza collettiva, o rifiuti per proteggere le libertà fondamentali?

Why this dilemma matters
Technology rarely asks for permission once it works, so the ethics has to land before deployment. Choosing “Sostenere il sistema di sorveglianza predittiva per prevenire crimini e proteggere la comunità” prioritises the capability it unlocks; choosing “Opporsi al sistema per preservare la privacy individuale e prevenire abusi del potere di controllo” gives more weight to the agency it costs.
Worth asking yourself
- What would you give up to keep this capability?
- Who benefits from this, and who absorbs the risk?

- An AI generates a masterpiece painting with no human creative input. Who owns the copyright?
- A self-driving car's brakes fail. It must choose: swerve into a barrier (killing the passenger) or hit a pedestrian who jaywalked.
- Scientists can upload your consciousness to a computer perfectly. Your biological body must die in the process. Is the digital version still you?
- You can permanently delete all social media from existence. The world becomes slower and less connected, but global mental health improves 40%.
