At some level, an algorithm cannot be held responsible for its actions because it was doing the only thing it could do, what it was programmed to do. At some point between a simplistic algorithm and a human level AI, however, we seem able to assigning responsibility/culpability. What does an algorithm minimally have to have before it reaches this point?
The ability to learn? Understanding of the consequences of its actions? Rights that it cares about? Personhood? I am most interested to hear the thoughts of others on this list on this question.
