Well, this brings to light the concept from the movie I, Robot. Is it a crime when an ai kills someone, unintentional or not, or is it an industrial accident? If it's suppose to replace a human task due to a "level of intelligence", is it still taxed as equipment or as an employee? Is the company (due to equipment failures) or the ai (choosing to do an action on its own) at fault?
To be fair, these questions need to be hard lined pretty soon.
- Bendingo 7y agoDon't know why this is downvoted - it's a good statement of the essential issue.
- mr_toad 7y ago> these questions need to be hard lined pretty soon I’d argue that they’re a long way from being an issue. Firstly, current AI are far less ‘intelligent’ than almost any animal. Even a mosquito has more brain power, and we don’t think twice about killing mosquitoes. Secondly, even if an AI had similar intelligence to a human, there is no reason to believe it would be a moral creature, capable of making moral judgments, and being judged as such. Our morality evolved over thousands, probably millions, of years (or if you prefer, it was granted by some divine power). Either way, intelligence and morality aren’t synonymous.
