People have had this fascination with technology long before there were actual texts to write our history. Although the technology that humans had a few thousand years ago was not as advanced as today, they were still toying with the idea of ​​creating machines that would have the ability to make similar, rational decisions that we make. It is only until the late 19th century or early 20th century that technological advances allowed people to place more emphasis on the question of when, as it is only a matter of time, humanoid AI will outwardly simulate emotions human enough to allow us to imagine we must ask whether they deserve or are accorded the moral status of persons. As we move deeper into the technological age, it's becoming less of a far-fetched idea and more of a possibility that artificial intelligence will achieve the same thinking ability that we have. Numerous scientists and scholars have debated whether, when artificial intelligence gets to the point where their thought process is on par with that of a person, they will be afforded the same rights that any other human being receives in society. While no artificial intelligence has passed the Turing Test, a scholar named William Lycan seems to think so. In his writings, “Robots and Minds,” Lycan argues that if a computer-driven robot outwardly simulates human behavior, then artificial intelligence intelligence truly has a mind capable of processing information and making its own decisions. (And if he can make his own decisions, then he should also be morally responsible for his own actions.) Lycan also provided two examples in his writings, Harry and Henrietta, where the two contrasting scenarios begged the question... middle of the paper. .. whatever it is. When this idea is combined with the idea that robots might possess minds, it leads to Lycan's conclusion on this matter. The reason for this is that a robot is not simply a "puppet". There may be people guiding the robot to complete certain actions, but no one can know for sure, not even the robot's creator, what it will do 100% of the time. As Lycan had said at the top of page 362, "even an ordinary computer, let alone a fabulously sophisticated machine like Harry, is somewhat unpredictable" (Reason). You may think you know what the robot will do, but more variables may come into play if the robot wanders off course. Many people tend not to think about computers this way. This infers that they make free choices and do not complete actions simply because it is in their programming.
