Would an AI have a right to live?

[Alowwvia]

Why not? Also, half the time I don't understand what I feel. What's your point?

well i understand all my fealings but is it realy (life) if you program it and say that it is not technology but alive.

I don't think you're very good at this, at all really.

[Ovon]

well i understand all my fealings but is it realy (life) if you program it and say that it is not technology but alive.

I don't know. Once science uncovers exactly what makes your brain tick in every detail, such that there is no more mystery left in why you do anything you do, will you no longer be "life?"

well we will see when that day comes, but say you make an AI with feelings and it understands them, what if one day it wants to have a baby? what would you tell it?

Er, it can be both. Technology and alive.

(Why don't you capitalise properly?)

thats what im saying its just technology.

Let it find out how to make one, then. I'm sure it could ind a way, really. If it wants an equal, who are we to deny it?

"Here's a fresh server, have at it."

"and alive".

You're nothing more than a chemical machine? What makes that more alive then a electrical one?

If the criteria for life is reproduction, then fire is alive.

ok, but it would need a body in order to reproduce, or you could always program a child for it.

Or let it design its own reproduction.

Er. All matter is chemical.
And the human nervous system uses electrical signals to transmit information.

If it doesn't have a body, why would it need a body to make another one?

[Aghny]

I believe the term for something like that is "cyborg" and not "human". But that would depend on the type and extend of parts replaced.

So people with prosthetics are less of a person than people without prosthetics?

We already went over this. My definitions of what people and person and alive is all biological not the ethical or philosophical ones. What do you hope to achieve by continuing the argument ?

Inb4 someone asks what the biological definition is, it is attributed to humans.

[Eerienar]

Call me a bad person, but I don't believe in an AI's right to live.

I think living is more of a privilege.

And I told you : there is no biological definition of "person".

ok, but what if it had problems makeing the reproduction and it go's wrouge it would be a disater it would need help to program a duplicate.

Yes there is and like i said, it is humans.

I don't think life is either a privilege or a right.

Depends, who is Al?

Not AL, AI, as in artificial intelligence

Er, he was making a joke.

You made that up completely.
Personhood is not a biological concept.

We agree, but think you've got it backwards:

well he's wright.

Show me one example where personhood has been attributed to a non-biological or non human entity. This is beating a dead horse.
