Answer 1

Read Asimov. He's all about that morality and AI.

Answer 2

There is an ongoing dispute over the fact that at some time the artificial intelligence will surpass the ability of the human brain.
This seems to bother some and excite others.
there are many scenarios of what will happen when they can think for themselves better than we do. Not that they will take over, but we will be below thier intelligence and what will they do with the ability.

Answer 3

If a machine is programmed to mimic the behavior of a human mind so closely that its communications cannot be distinguished from that of a human mind by any test available, is that machine concious? (Does it have a 'soul?')

And if so, how did this happen?

And if not, what exactly is the process or mechanism by which conciousness is produced, and how exactly can it be detected in others, if not by its behavior?

Not sure this is really a moral issue, but its mystery relevant to religion anyway, I think.

Answer 4

If you communicate via a computer - how do you know when you are talking to a person and when you are talking to an AI software robot??

Answer 5

artificial inteligence doesn't show emotion, therefore can't decide on stuff that has to do with relationships, making it worse then talking to a human... I thought that was pretty good ive heard a little bit about this argument but not much!

GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!!!!
