Robot Souls? AI and Imago Dei by Eve Poole

Description

Eve Poole draws our attention to the similarities between ameliorators to our behaviour implanted by God, and those that need to be built into Artificial Intelligence. God’s controls on us humans would be called ‘junk code’ in an AI program – surplus to requirements and possibly flaky. She lists seven human ‘junk codes’ which could bring risk-mitigation to AI and suggests that the Church may be well placed to provide them for programmers and bring a conscientious soul into AI.
