"Technology is getting faster and smaller all the time, this we know from Moore’s law. However, life expectancy and quality of life and technology’s ability to alter it, is going to create a number of moral choices for people .."
With the statement above, we were asked to formulate an ethical question with regards to the future technological advancement and my classmate should point out their views about it.There are a lot of things that came into my mind as to be the possible question I would be formulating and I had chosen to talk about human cloning...first. But unfortunately, as I was going to pose it to our forum, my other classmate has already posted something about it. So my topic then shifted to other idea - My topic was inspired by the movie Artificial Intelligence and Bicentennial Man, and it would be great if you have also seen them so we could relate to each other better. Greater advancements is very inevitable and we all know that it keeps on growing more and more powerful and so complex that anything we think impossible would just be a laugh away in the near future. With all these advancements, it is not also impossible that robots or AIs will be mingling with us as someone who is also an individual of a society. They also could talk like us, live the same lifestyle we had, or maybe even eat and have emotions. My question would be, would you agree to the thought of these robots can be 'real humans' such as being registered as one, take part of the important happenings on earth as real humans do, have families and die knowing that they are only machines?
My classmates' answers:
I saw both movies but I had to watch the A.I. again.
The issue here is that is it really good idea to develop AI to the point where it would be like in the movies. There was a moment in the AI movie where the mother is having a big dilemma whether to fully activate the robot child (I forgot his name) and make it her child forever. That moment had her thinking if she can really accept the robot child and use it for her own personal benefit (maybe, therapy from having extreme emotions due to her real living child on the brink of death?). The robot child was used to mediate her feelings and as a distraction for her mind. Later on, the family (especially, the mother) when they were reunited with their true son, had a very complex emotion since the robot was now an obstacle for the reconstruction of their family bond. The mother felt that she had to someway get rid of the robot and concentrate on loving his true son since she thinks that her true son is more important and her son is only one that matters, yet still having the little lingering feeling of warmth she felt with the robot child.
Now this is a critical sample when involved in this issue. Humans are not supposed to create life (I mean artificially, not the other one...). It has been a great issue since Frankenstein and before that time. So if the creation of life is obtained by humans, Chaos is ensured like the sample before. So I personally think that if people want to lead a true and satisfying lives, don't mess with God.

Honestly, I have not watched any of the movies you've mentioned by I will try to give my thoughts with regards to the question in general. This issues I believe is still in debate by those who are pro-AI and those who are anti -AI.
For me, there's nothing wrong on having robots lived the way human do as long as they are not created to destroy human. I always believe that robots will never become human. There are human behaviors and characteristics that cannot be done by a programmed machine like common sense.

i cant imagine AI's do have feelings. it is impossible. only God can give and create emotions to people. But if ever thiis will be possible, i have foresee that the moral issue in here is in the scinetist who created that human. we can question him about his very purpose of creating a technology like that. becasue maybe he was trying to exceed God's power or to be like God.
