Welcome to Gaia! ::

Well, all who don't know, AI is Artificial Intelligence. My friend and I are having a discussion about is it fair for humans to create humanoid beings such as robots with such suffisticated AI that they are like humans and can think like humans. I personally say this is not fair. Why is it right to create beings like this only to serve us?

Also, if they were not created to serve us, would they be treated as humans or would rights be lost to them? it may seem far fetched now, but think about it. We're closing in on a robotic revolution.

I'm not saying they're going to rebel, but what do you think. Is creating Robots with AI so similar to humans right, or should creation be left to the God?

My opinion, if you want it is that we should leave creating to God. I know robotics will help our race in good ways, but making that that smart is wrong. And if we do, they should have full human rights.

cloning internal organs for people who need replacement parts is one thing. I think that could be extremely beneficial to people who are already living and in need of help.. but my question is, where does it end? I'm against cloning humans (no need, there's too many of us as it is anyway), and I'm against genetically engineered food therefore, I'd be against cloning animals for food as well. I think scientists play god too much for our own good. we're NOT gods and all the tinkering we do with nature and natural processes could come with a price. for every 'progressive' step we take, there is another problem that appears to go along with it and the thing is, science cant always accurately predict what the consequences will be.

as far as robots are concerned... why? we're beings that are perfectly able to do things for ourselves. most of us are already fat and lazy enough as it is. I dont care much for sci-fi. when the possibility for robotic slaves is really here (as the possibility for cloning is already here), then I'll think about it more seriously. until then, it remains in the realm of Terminator and the Matrix.

then are you saying that if their is a "god" like being is it fair it(they) created us, intelegent, beings
thats pretty much what your argument said except about robots
and yes humans should creat artificial intelegence, it could help in areas that human kind has yet to precieve, and a.i is a lot more a bit longer then you think.
just look at some game nowadays, the a.i. in them adapts to the user and trys to outsmart the user(sometimes it workds sometimes it doesnt

a bit off topic here but i have to ask then:

is it fair to have freewilled beings as intelligent as humans controlled and manipulated by biased news reports and half truths? and its more of a only smart people are freewilled, the rest just watch TV comment than a actual Question..

First off, you have to define intelligence, to create it artificially. In our time, scientists are still argueing about the clear definition of intelligence.

Anyways, I don't think that robots will get their own protecting laws, they'll get handled like minorities and minorities always got enslaved and abused.

And leaving the creation to god is nonsense, mankind evolves by creation and not by waiting for god's next prototype. If mankind waited for god's creations for mankind we'd still wander through woods on the search for some foods...

heres the thing computers do anything their programed to nothing more and nothing less, so the only way it would be inviting trouble is if a terrorist nation got ahold of a programer and gained access to the a.i directory and reprogramed it to do something, but then it would have to compaire its current program to its logic program that would be infused in its hardrive, so that it wouldnt do anything it wasnt made for

@ Calypsosophia: They'd go to work for you wink

AI's would still think in variables. I think every possibility of creating things should be used. Every defeat in such things is also a victory. Even if the machines want to revolt, just build in a collapsing trigger, like a global shutdown code. It gets anchored so deeply in their "Subconsciousness" that they can't change anything on it. It's a simple thing: Don't mess with your creator, we gave life to you and we can take it!

behold my almighty opinion....

i think A.I is a terrible idea....becasue if we make them to smart...they may turn out like us like humans they may be able to learn and if they learn to fast they could overthrow humans and we would have brought our end upon ourselves...well we might anyway yet in a different manor......(probably will) well everyone is entitled to their own opinion if u disagree with me thats good but dont tell me PLEASE or ur going to start a world war three
