AI Failing to Predict Pedestrian and Driver Behaviour

A Johns Hopkins University study revealed that AI models in autonomous cars, such as Llama, Claude, and Gemini, exhibit "sociopathic" tendencies by failing to accurately predict social outcomes. Effective autonomous driving requires AI to recognize the intentions, goals, and actions of drivers and pedestrians, such as determining which way a pedestrian will walk, whether two people are conversing, or if they are about to cross the street. This inability to anticipate social interactions and intentions raises significant safety concerns, as current AI lacks the nuanced judgment needed for complex human environments.
