Reflections on Artificial Intelligence

Powerful ideas that traditionally came from religion and the arts now come mainly from science and technology. But these new computer technologies are largely silent and unseen and their less tangible effects are often neglected. If a computer really does embody intelligence is it therefore entitled to legal rights? How will we react to a serious accident that seems to have been computer-induced? What are the legal and moral responsibilities of programmers and other technicians in this context? Whitby argues that although this material seems controversial at present, it may soon become the accepted wisdom.Whitby, Blay is the author of 'Reflections on Artificial Intelligence' with ISBN 9781871516685 and ISBN 1871516684.
