Artificial Intelligence

Paper Summary:

This work discusses the current debate on AI, offers a brief illumination of the state of AI technology and discuss questions regarding what the future may hold for Ai and the need or lack of need for concrete legal designations for AI technology. It is clear that, as a theoretical concept, AI debates ask more questions than they answer and this is clearly demonstrated in this paper, but the main question considered is the following: "What rights should AI being have and based on what characteristics of being?".

From the Paper:

"The technology that makes it possible for PINO to learn and develop a personality based on the "treatment" the owner provides it is not the least bit unlike raising a real human child and though at its current state it is unlikely that anyone would think to develop a system of laws that govern its acceptance a "living" being with rights and privileges does not mean that this is not at all possible in the future, or that eh children who "train/rear" or care for PINO may not be the next generation of scientists fascinated with making robot toys and tools even more lifelike and with even greater capabilities to learn and grow into sentient beings."
