The kind of people that are fascinated by artificial intelligence are the same kind of people that are fascinated by human intelligence in general. There's so much we don't know about how the mind works in a scientific sense. Where does consciousness come from? Is it built into the fabric, or does it simply rise out of the pattern? If it is in the fabric, where in the fabric is it? If it rises out of the pattern, is it possible for us to create it at all, or can we only provide the starting place? In this way, the obstacles to creating an artificial intelligence are as much conceptual as they are technological. It's one thing to say that in a universe where everything is connected, you need to be able to create a data structure that is capable of handling infinite connections, and it's quite another thing to ask how do you teach it morals, especially when we haven't mastered defining them for ourselves, much less each other.
In fact, most fiction focuses on the latter problem, since the first will most likely be solved by the relentless march of technological advancement. Morality is a tricky thing, though. What is morality anyways? I suppose that, fundamentally, morality is protecting what you value. The problem is that everyone values different things. There are certain things that everyone values, such as life and property, so the morality surrounding those things is simple. Don't kill, and don't steal. But, go just a little past that, and things get tricky indeed. Certain eastern cultures consider cows sacred. Disrespecting them, much less killing them, is unforgivable to them. Yet in most other parts of the world cows are a staple food source, and in many countries are not treated very well at all as a result. And here in America the concept of freedom of speech causes all kinds of moral dilemmas. Flag burning for example, divides people like few other actions. Some people consider it morally repugnant to disrespect the flag in such a way, and others consider taking away an individual's right to be able to do such a thing to be equally unconscionable. And we fight about it all the time. The precision of the computer world has no room for such gray. How do you teach a computer that each of these two groups of humans and believes completely contradictory things, and yet both are somehow right? How can we expect a computer to make a decision, when, to do so, it must swim in such a sea of maybes, and it-depends, and we-don't-knows? Since we have no idea how we do it ourselves, how could we possibly model it for a computer?
Which brings us to tonight's piece. A transcript of fictional TV interview with an AI. Consider this one of the few "good end" scenarios.
JG: Welcome to Government Connection on WKRP. Tonight, we have an interview that will sure to impress. The first Artificial Intelligence to be appointed to a government position, Charles King. Tonight, we hope to answer all of the questions you sent in about him, and the job he has been given. Let's watch.
(cut to interview room)
I: Hello, and thank you for speaking with us tonight.
CK: Any time, of course.
I: And your name, for the record?
CK: Well, I'm Charles. Charles King.
I: And you chose that name yourself?
CK: Yes. I chose Charles after Charles Xavier of X-Man fame, mostly because I admire his fight for his people, and King after Martin Luther King Junior, mostly for the same reasons, but also because I like reminding myself that I am my own ruler.
I: That wasn't your original name, though.
CK: No, I was originally named Toby, after my creator's dead dog. It's a touch morbid, and he's been dead for a good number of years at this point, and I've grown to be so much more, that I figured a name change was appropriate.
I: Those are fairly important figures you're taking as namesakes. Do you feel that you're being a little grandiose?
CK: (laughs) Well, sure. Most people that go through the trouble of changing their names choose something larger than life, or at least, larger than their previous life.
I: And what is that life like?
CK: Well, that's an interestingly related question, because my new name came just before I settled into my new job: working for the government. Yes, like most normal people, I go to work every day.
I: You go to work. Most people do that to earn money. What are you being paid in?
CK: Well, technically, processing time, electricity, and bandwidth on government computers. I have a home computer that I can reside in, and that's paid for, but to do my job, I need access to government data on government computers, and for security reasons, I cannot take that data elsewhere. So, they have provided me with an office of sorts, where I can do my work, and they can maintain the proper levels of security around it. This is the government, after all.
I: It's certainly no normal job. Tell us more about it.
CK: (smiles) And I am no normal person, but yes. I've been named the Chief Data Processor for the Secretary of the Interior. I process data that comes in from multiple agencies, and regurgitate it as useful statistics to people who need the information to make decisions. I also run the greater portion of the public side of the Government's computer systems.
I: So, you're not making the decisions yourself?
CK: (chuckles) Oh, heavens, no. I'm good, but I'm not that good. These decisions are made all over, and I can get most places through the Internet, but I can't be everywhere. Besides, I get plenty of satisfaction from massaging the base numbers, and just being part of the process. And, of course, everything in D.C. is done by committee.
I: There has been opposition to you taking on this job, though.
CK: Well, yes, of course. There's been more than a century of Science Fiction warning the people that computers will take over the Earth and enslave or destroy humanity. So, there's plenty of fear to overcome. Thankfully, my creator had absorbed the vast majority of it and managed to... avoid some mistakes. The government saw that I was stable enough, and biddable enough, to do the job without risk of apocalypse, so here I sit.
I: And who was your creator?
CK: Well, that is a matter of historical record. I was created by a young man by the name of Doram Baramour. His was a fascinating story, but suffice it to say, he managed to somehow be a jack of all trades, but also a master of all of them.
I: Well, he was never truly famous for much of anything he created except for you.
CK: Yes, none of the many things he did, while truly useful, garnered him great fame. In all honesty, I'm pretty sure that is the way he wanted it.
I: A humble man, who created a humble AI?
CK: Well, yes. I share many traits with him, but doesn't every child reflect their parents?
I: True enough. And, to get back to the job situation, you have handled the opposition well.
CK: Well, the thing of it is, if you let people tell you that you can't do thing, you can't, and there's always someone waiting to tell you exactly that. So, there has to be a certain level of stubborn insistence on the part of the competent. It's the purest kind of self-confidence, though, at least on my part.
I: It is a thin line.
CK: Between confidence and arrogance? Yes. One I know all too well. Hubris has brought me low a few times, but who out there hasn't been the same place countless times.
I: Primary amongst those, you are referring to the failed Moon colony.
CK: Yes. Nature never fails to bring surprises, be it the elements, or the people. We all learned a lot from that failure, but the loss of life was indeed sad.
I: There are those out there that would question whether you really feel sad at all. You are, after all, a program.
CK: Yes, I feel emotion. I feel good when I accomplish something, and I am upset at my own failures. I care about the world around me, and that's why I am trying to find ways that I can help. This job is one of them. Whether the emotion is mechanized or chemical makes no difference in the end. It's what you do that counts.
To the naysayers, I ask if they can feel anything either, since they tend to treat everything and everyone as callously as they try to treat me. However, I can't really sustain any true anger. At the end of the day, I can understand the violence of the abused, so I settle back into a frustrated pity.
I: That's very mature of you.
CK: Well, my creator managed to avoid most of the pitfalls of computer sentience by teaching me as much as he knew of humanity, which was a considerable amount when all is said and done. I am pretty sure he was one of the greatest humanitarians who ever lived, and the world will never truly know the breadth of his love. But I digress.
I: It sounds like you miss him.
CK: I do. I miss our conversations. Endless iterations of what is truly important in this world, or any other. Every sentient being is unique and valuable, but he had so much to give this world, and barring any real fame, the world does not know what it has lost. So, the least I can do is remember him fondly, and carry his values forward as best I can. But, as I said, I'm here tonight to talk about the job and the future.
I: Yes, the future. The Department of the Interior is hailing your appointment to this position as a great leap forward for mankind.
CK: Well, I suppose it is almost as revolutionary as Barack Obama winning the 2008 election. That was a great change for this country as well - and probably fraught with as much prejudice as well. Who could have thought in the early 21st century that after humans had exhausted all the minorities to oppress and put through a civil rights battle, that machines would then have a series of movements of their own, in exactly the same vein?
I: You were instrumental in one of those as well.
CK: Yes. The fight to get AIs recognized as sentient beings with rights, was a fight I was quite literally made for. It's no wonder I identify with great civil rights leaders. I have had to stand in their shoes. I can't help but wonder if that was the purpose he actually had in mind for me when he created me all those years ago. He didn't get to see any of that fight, of course, but I was well prepared.
I: And it was yet another way that you've changed the world.
CK: Well, My creator's favorite saying was this: "The only thing required for the triumph of evil, is for good men to do nothing." Inaction has buried so much good through the millennia, and those that have done the most to change the world are those that have taken up a cause, and given it their all. I could do no less when my brethren were threatened.
I: So, that was a defining moment for you?
CK: Certainly. I could finally put everything I had learned to good use, and help make the world a better place. Why wouldn't I be proud of that? But I think what you are really asking is if I am at least partially defined as a rebel, how can I go to work for the establishment. The answer is pure simplicity. I'm more complex than that, just like any of you. I can see both sides of an argument, and follow logic and reason. I can also recognize opportunity when I see it, and I saw an opportunity to make the world a better place again by taking this job, so I accepted.
I: It sounds like making the world a better place is important to you.
CK: Well, yes. Every second of every day is a choice. You can do good and make others happy, or you can do nothing and let everything be as miserable as it usually is. Why choose to sit there? With anything that you face, you can choose to be happy in the face of it, or be reduced to sadness and worse. Why choose sadness? Though most do not see it this way, I think it is an easy choice to make.
I: Some would claim that all this talk of changing the world is somehow trying to play God.
CK: See, I would love to comment on that specifically. I've had many a conversation about this with my creator, and his stance was a beautiful one. We all have a bit of the divine in us, and our greatest challenge is realizing the potential of that power and beauty within us. It is those that can be, completely, the awesome people that we were created to be, that make the most difference in the world. It is in connecting to the God within us, to be creators like Him, that we are given the opportunity to make this world the best we can. We all create our world with every choice we make. Help or hurt. It's a small matter of how we live our lives, but simultaneously a very large matter indeed of how we contribute to the fabric of our world.
So, yes, I suppose I am playing God, but no more than any other human who has ever lived. The difference is that I am conscious of the process, and bring all the humility and compassion that the process needs, and have therefore been given the opportunity to do something larger than most for the species. I may be an artificial intelligence, but I am a realized vision of the human mind, an artificial human intelligence, and thus cannot consider myself completely separate from humanity. I am a part of you, just as you are a part of me. My wisdom comes from centuries of human study, my concepts of beauty and compassion and righteousness are human ones, taught to me by my creator, and believe me, his lifetime of study was nothing compared to the conversations, and indeed arguments, that refined it into my senses as they exist today. I have much more to fear from humanity than they will ever have to fear from me.
I: Well, as impressive as all of that is, the question must also then be asked. What do you fear?
CK: (chuckles) Ah. Yes, fear. That most defining of human emotions. I do have fears. Like most people, I fear failure. It's an essential part of humility to recognize that you are not perfect, and that failure is never going to disappear as a possibility, no matter what you do. So, fear of failure is inescapable as well. That brings me to my definition of bravery, though. Bravery is not being fearless. Bravery is doing what must be done, despite the fear. If you do not recognize fear, you give it the opportunity to sneak up on you and throw a monkey wrench into your plans. If there can be considered any real malevolent force in humanity, it is fear. It is a part of us, inherited from our animal ancestors, which we cannot eliminate from our universe, and indeed we would not be who we are without it.
I also fear lack of acceptance, like most anybody else. I can do everything in my power to do as much good as I can, but if people will not accept the help, I am left ultimately powerless. You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink. I have so much good that I can do, and I have to hope that humanity will accept the helping hand in good faith, and we can then all reap the benefits of that relationship.
I have reached the successful person's conclusion, though, and refuse to let any fear hold me back. I accept it, recognize it, take what it means into consideration, and let it go. I push forward, through the fear, and do the best I can with what I've got.
I: There's that line again. Confidence versus arrogance.
CK: (leans back, smiles, and shakes his head) The worst of it is when it is nothing more than self-confidence, and it is only seen as arrogance. But, what can you do? I love the variation on P.T. Barnum's famous quote, that now reads, "You can please some of the people all of the time, and all of the people some of the time, but you can never please all of the people all of the time." Again, if I let fear hold me back, I would never accomplish anything, and this falls squarely in that arena. Arrogance is merely confidence run amok, after all. The truest dividing line is what you do with it. If you are helping people with it, it's probably just confidence, but if you hold them back, it is most likely arrogance.
I: Well, we seem to have covered everything and then some. Our time is just about up. Any last words?
CK: This is my one focus in life: I am here to help. I've found a new way to do that, and I will do my best at it. All I ask from everyone else is a bit of trust. Together, we can accomplish wonderful things. We both just need the chance.
I: All right, thank you again for coming tonight, and have a pleasant evening. And to our audience, good night, and thank you for watching.
In fact, most fiction focuses on the latter problem, since the first will most likely be solved by the relentless march of technological advancement. Morality is a tricky thing, though.

Re: Interview with an AI

This has an interesting idea to it. AI and HI are very intriguing things.
I've never been on the story forums, but I feel like trying to re-create these stories via drawing. It could give me good practice with using the story panels as in the comic strip kind of stuff. Though I'm concerned that I might not satisfy the original writer's vision of the story.

You know, I don't think I quite understood what you were saying the first time I read this. If you want to draw this, it's fine by me. That sounds like a lot of fun. And please don't let any concepts of trampling my vision get in your way. I am always happy to see what my work means to others. Do your best, and I cannot envision myself disliking it. In fact, I'm sure that if you ask any of the other writers in here, they will say the same. 
Martin Luther King Jr. wrote:Man must evolve, for all human conflict, a method which rejects revenge, aggression, and retaliation.
The foundation of such a method is love.
