Ethnic and Religious Standpoints On Artificial Intelligence
![Picture](/uploads/1/7/7/5/17758591/5840380.jpg)
The main ethnic standpoint is negative, with so many science fiction writers and movies being produced using artificial intelligence programs as the “Bad guys”- swaying the general public’s viewpoints on the programs. But the biggest issue with Artificial Intelligence is: Does it feel? If it’s as intelligent as humans are, can it feel? If it feels, would it have the same rights as humans?
Joseph Weizenbaum said that an AI program cannot, by definition, successfully copy human empathy and feelings. It is artificial, thus making it fake. An AI program can be as smart or intelligent as a human- but it would not be able to properly feel emotions, replicate responses and accurately expressing the feelings humans have.
The religious standpoint is mixed, as with most peoples reactions. There are no set in stone words banning the creation of Artificial Intelligence, though there is one question that will always remain. "What if it starts asking questions about religion?" For an Artificial Intelligence unit to ask a question, it would be like a baby crying. It's going to happen, Artificial intelligence units are going to ask questions, questioning religious like some humans have been for years. The AI may not be able to grasp all religions, and there may be no way to make a religious AI unit. In order for an AI to be religious, it (theoretically) must be programmed that way, as for right now researchers are just trying to create a completely self away machine. The specific programming comes later.

Artificial Intelligence Philosophy

Some researchers view humans as computers, their brains being the central processing unit, their memory acting as the hard drive, and their body functioning as an outer casing. This theory is called the Computational theory of mind. The theory was mentioned in its current state by Hilary Putnam, in 1961. It was devolved by the MIT philosopher and cognitive scientist Jerry Fodor in 1960-1080. This view is common in today’s cognitive psychology and is thought to be an evolutionary psychology theory.
The computational theory of mind is that the brain is a computer; there are many ways to think of the theory, the most popular being that the brain is a computer and a mind is a program that the brain runs. So the computational theory of mind is the claim that the mind is a machine that acts like a computer. Making decisions based on information it knows.
