Jonathan Zittrain, faculty director of the Berkman Klein Center for Internet and Society, poses a question— “Should the driver be able to instruct the car to go 80 miles per hour?”
If yes, who would be responsible if the accident takes place on that speed? Would the driver be responsible? Or would the carmaker be held accountable for allowing the car to speed up?
As there’s no driver in a fully autonomous vehicle, can we blame the object like a car?
Although it seems strange, but AI based systems have the potential to develop feelings, CIMON- AI crew member at International Space Station, developed feelings and shuts itself down when the scientist told CIMON to stop singing songs. Watch the Video!
Gunkel, 2018 argues that Robots are going to demand their rights!!!!
Turner J. 2019, argues that Rights make sense only if the entity is conscious of its suffering.
So the question arises whether AI can become conscious!
AI systems have the ability of develop mind of its own, but consciousness?
Cameron McLain, after the exhaustive research in his article – Can Artificial Intelligence Be Conscious? – writes,” With the quantum theory, it’s possible to imagine that AI endowed with some biological materials interacts at the quantum level in the same way that humans do.”
Does it call for special regulations and laws for ensuring AI auditability and imprisonment if AI machine is held liable?
