What happens when you have a 'being', made of silicon and algorithms, but takes the form of a human? Or, for a better case, what happens when our own brains are 'part algorithm'? In that case I think this sort of case wouldn't be so cut and dry. I'm thinking of some recent films and TV shows that really explored these issues; Humans, Ex Machina, Westworld, and Altered Carbon.
- Retric 9y agoThat's a rather vague objection. Suppose someone destructively uploaded their brain into a computer. The rule could be that virtual person was identical to the original OR the ruling could be the original person died. Thus, saying an algorithm used to be a person need not be relevant. On the other hand, people use algorithms every day. Consider a simple vending machine, people inter contracts with the owner by proxy. The specifics on how the machine operates is basically meaningless.
