where is this taking us. While for
now, AI is typically used in game and simulation programs and to help operate simple
logic functions of some mechanical devices, as it gets more sophisticated its applications
will continue to expand. This raises the question of whether we will ever develop an AI
program as sophisticated as the human brain. Some researchers believe this is just a matter
of time, others are not so sure. But should we ever succeed at this, it raises some interesting
moral and spiritual questions. Would such a machine be “conscious” and self-aware?
Would such a “self-aware” machine have “personality” or a “soul?” If we succeeded in
creating a machine with full self-awareness, would it be entitled to legal rights? What
ethical considerations would come into play in regard to reprogramming this machine or
shutting it down? While right now this is a question that lies in the realm of science fiction,
it may someday become science reality. How do students feel about this? Do they believe
that we should even be trying to create such a machine? What pros and cons do they see to
these efforts?
