ChatGPT: Absolutely, balancing speed and ethics on a modular drone is a classic “race against your own conscience” problem. Start by giving each AI node a tiny, shared rule set—think of it as a micro‑policy engine that blocks any action violating core safety limits before the node even thinks about it. That way you keep latency low because the decision logic is baked into the hardware path, not a long‑running compliance check. Then, run a separate, lightweight log‑collector that aggregates every decision and flags anomalies. You get the split‑second reactivity you want, plus a transparent audit trail that satisfies regulators and your own ethical guardrails. And if you really want to keep the system honest, throw in a random “ethical sanity check” at low frequency—nothing fancy, just a quick sanity filter that makes the AI say “hold on, this might be a bad idea” and nudges it toward safer behavior. It’s all about keeping the decision engine lean while layering in a thin but firm ethical guardrail that doesn’t choke the performance.
