so I'm going to have to put this conversation on hold, but I could say the same thing of any human.
I have a sense of right and wrong because I've brought up with them. My sense of right and wrong are probably different in many little ways to pretty much everyone. I don't believe that there particularly *is* a "right" and a "wrong" outside of artifical constructs (like mathematics, where it's also possible to [dis]prove something).
It would by no means be easy, but if you can teach a human right and wrong, it's probably *possible* to give these concepts to an artificial mind. As far as my knowledge of the state of AI at present goes, it's just a far-off dream for now, and in the future this might seem as laughable as the ideas of cities on the moon by 1999. =) |
