Description

Do robots have a soul?


We know they can solve problems efficiently and effectively, right from playing tic-tac-toe to the much more complex Chinese game of "go". They can drive cars without human help and do a lot of other things. But none of these address the HARD PROBLEM of AI.  



  1. Can AI solve complex problems that it had never encountered before? Or is it just following a set of preprogrammed instructions?

  2. Can AI be creative? Can it truly create Art?

  3. Can AI understand my feelings? Is it capable of understanding (Verstehen)? Can it/he love me back?

  4. Does an AI Robot understand the world as I do? Does it have qualia? How can we ever know?
