Oct 3, 2018 at 19:43 comment added DukeZhou Excellent answer. I want to pose the same question I posed on another answer: If a learning algorithm develops novel goals, does that demonstrate volition/intentionality, analogous to the free will we humans perceive ourselves as having?
Sep 13, 2018 at 12:01 comment added Cannabijoy What would cause an AI to decide to destroy humanity? Perhaps a virus? Or maybe it’s battery is low so it malfunctions? Would we say these things forced the AI to do something it wasn’t programmed to do?
Sep 13, 2018 at 5:13 comment added Niki @anonymouswho: Probably yes. If nothing forces you to pull the trigger (e.g. by holding your hand, threatening you etc.), then it's your free decision. Which is pretty close to our everyday intuition.
Sep 12, 2018 at 21:48 comment added Cannabijoy Thanks. Does this mean, according to Compatibilism, if something should cause an AI computer to “decide” to destroy all humans, and nobody pulls the cord, then the AI would be free to carry out this decision- thus having freewill?
