Thoughts and reason are influenced logic and reason, as well as a person's own morals and ethics. To me, how artifical intellagance is programmed in dealing with logic, morals, ethics....and if that programming could be altered....but if its really artifical, it always will be artifical, vs having an organic intelligence.
Good post. Reminds me of Artifical Intelligence, with Will Smith.

I agree with what Stephen Hawking, Elon Musk, Bill Gates and hundreds of others in the scientific/technological community who said in an open letter that there needs to be more research on impact to humans before we go too far in our development of AI.
“Success in creating AI would be the biggest event in human history,” wrote Stephen Hawking in an op-ed, which appeared in The Independent in 2014. “Unfortunately, it might also be the last, unless we learn how to avoid the risks. In the near term, world militaries are considering autonomous-weapon systems that can choose and eliminate targets.” Professor Hawking added in a 2014 interview with BBC, “humans, limited by slow biological evolution, couldn’t compete and would be superseded by A.I.”  |

Reminds me of the old saying,...(paraphrased)"Just because we CAN, doesn't mean we SHOULD". |

Very interesting view points! I believe that artificial intelligence may eventually simulate human intelligence and consciousness. I mean, if we look at the IBM's Watson and the Melomics program we are pretty close to that already. However, I don't think that a machine could ever have true consciousness not only because our own minds are made of organic matter (as Desert Lotus stated) but because consciousness is essentially desire (if Hegel is to be believed). Consciousness requires a kind of striving and is social in nature.  |

Usually when talk of artificial intelligence comes up, usually the Terminator films will get brought up by detractors as a word of caution. But consider it for a moment from the POV of a machine with artificial intelligence. Imagine being a machine able to reason and think, appreciate your own existence, yet stuck in a computer in some lab like a lab rat under close scrutiny by some engineer/scientist. Even though you'd be intelligent, that same engineer could issue a few keystrokes and then you're singing zippity-do-dah, completely disregarding your own choice in the matter. I thin A.I will definitely become a real thing some day, but it will most definitely become a rights issue as well and is going to have a major impact on how we define ourselves as people.
