Hello Maurice!

Right.  AI machines won't ever develop the consciousness to  
understand what they are doing.

I just finished watching the film Ex Machina from a  
recommendation.  Although it's the best "AI" film I've seen  
that depicts the machinery of an android beautifully,  
prominently and in an original way, the film lacked "how" did  
the machine develop the idea that it needed to "escape".

 MK> responsible and thus the solution would be to eliminate
 MK> all humans.

But.. instructions could include hard rules not to harm humans.

Perhaps we should move this topic to CHAT or COFFEE_KLATSCH or  
ANYTHING_GOES
