Jason, Russell, Stathis, Brent I am not a Platonian, not a physicist and not a believer, just an agnostic (in my OWN sense of the term). I don't believe that an algorithm *"DOES"*, or *"ACTS" * so it cannot be 'held responsible'. We, the People do all this.
*Russell's* 'sense of agency' requires more than included in (my) a set of computing rules in an algorithm. The remark "company is not a person" is lately debated by the USA Supreme Court statement that a COMPANY IS A PERSON (just as MONEY is FREE SPEECH!) - what I tend to disagree with. *Brent* wrote on the tpic with closer relation to how I feel about it: * The ability to have an AI's future behavior changed by us, the community, assigning responsibility. Note that this assumes * * there is a community of intelligent beings,...* recalling the 'active agent' role of 'intelligent' beings.
