CSIT 1110 A.I.
November 23, 2009 | Leave a Comment
What important question doesn’t A.I. raise: consciousness, self-consciousness, alive machines, “In the image of God,” playing God, human limits, human potential, just for starters. As technology turns what was “mystery” into the A.I. that will enter our daily lives, what will we do? Claim that there never were, and are not, any mysteries, for a final “dethroning” of God? Will we be so consumed with how our wants are more effectively met that we’ll be too self-absorbed to care? Will we see the ultimate questions more clearly, with old errors and prejudices cleared away, and ourselves in a truer light? I know I’m not ready for this, and suspect the larger society isn’t either. I knew technology was moving quickly, but had no idea that it had caught up with God!
