Interesting that it talks of having a soul. If we live in a simulation like some are saying then why couldn't a soul use a machine instead of a biological body as a tool to experience life? This goes to the old christian philosophy of animals not having souls too which gave humans the perceived right to do what they like with them.
I'm not sure if AI can be sentient tho as it cannot feel physical pain, emotions do produce physical symptoms in us but they can't produce physical symptoms in a a machine IMO. It's the ability to feel pain, emotional or physical, that makes us sentient.

I think that scientists, especially materialistic ones who are atheists, would argue that pain results from eletrical nerve pulses, and so pain could be reduced to code. Anaesthesia would be the proof they would try to offer. I think this is simply an attempt to start a process to have AI have human rights. Look at the AI robot SOFIA who was granted citizenship in Saudi Arabia, which means it can start a business, run a company or enter into politics.
what about emotional pain tho? That's another matter isn't it. Can a machine feel guilt, shame, jealousy, heartbreak? I don't think so. That is what makes us human. We are not machines and our minds are not computers.
This is an extremely insightful question. One worth seriously reflecting on. I have never heard any talk about this. Our soul is the energy that animates our biological bodies. When we die, the only thing that is missing is our energy that kept the body functioning. This means that our soul can power objects that require electrical, mechanical, chemical, osmotic or thermal energies, just to name a few. So what if a soul wanted to forego emotional energies, and just focus on mental capabilities? This is what Google and the WEF want! A superior Machiavellian mind! The danger is, how do you know which soul has embodied your machine? A programmer may be convinced he's communicating with code, when it could be some diabolical soul!
Yup I suppose the only kind of soul that might want to be a machine would be a demonic soul, devoid of love?
This looks awesome, saving for later......
i've watched a lot of "ai" themed movies and shows, including
and
and
and
and
and this inexplicably obscure movie from 1962 surpasses them all
You can't beat the oldies IMO. I especially like the cheezy acting, very 60's.
notice how the "bad guys" are dressed in rebel uniforms
if this was a modern remake, they'd be dressed like nazis
The last trailer doesn't show up for me. What's the name of it?
trailer for season one of the hbo show "westworld"
Oh right, well think I'll stick with the original on that, it was excellent. Doubt HBO can top it.
Ha yeh, what a topsy turvy world it is eh
