- adjkant 8y agoAI today is that dumb, but I think the parent comment is discussing a theoretical AGI nearing or possessing consciousness. A bit irrelevant for today's moral conversation on AI but a very interesting one down the line if we ever do get to that point.

- coldtea 8y ago>AI isn’t s player it’s as dumb as a rock. That's a religious view of AI and humans, where humans have special qualities (like soul and consciousness) perhaps evolved "magically" or "god given", that a machine can't have. There are no serious arguments why an AI can't have perfect human-like consciousness, feelings and everything. Inversely, there are no serious arguments why humans are special in any way, and their brain mappings can't be replicated by technical AI (eg. artificial neurons) or emulated by software.
- dogma1138 8y agoHumans aren’t special but what we have as an AI today and for foreseeable future is capable making as many decisions as your microwave.
- coldtea 8y agoWe already have AI that can make the decision or not to step on a kid passing the street in self driving cars. The ethical/conscious part is a matter of degree, not necessarily of quality.
- dogma1138 8y agoNo we don’t, the “AI” didn’t made any decisions it only follows its programming. It also doesn’t know what a kid is nor does it makes any decisions based on the info even if it did. It is tasked with avoiding collisions it does not make ethical decisions any more than my microwave makes an ethical decision of not to burn my food when I use a fixed program to defrost chicken.
