Moral Artificial Intelligence

Moral Artificial Intelligence (AI) is going to come from its creators.  If we do not instill this characteristic into the devices that we create as humans we they will not behave morally.

Take a look at Hollywood and what is portrayed on television.  The level of moral behavior is reflective of the moral behavior of the creators.  This will be the same for AI.

We need moral humans to create the content of stories in books, movies, and games.  We also need moral content added to robots and AI and this is done through moral humans.  Moral character is best gained through a relationship with God.  Without this relationship we cannot create the moral character that we what to pass on to the next generation or in the devices we create.

What Defines you?

What seems to be a hot topic now is how robots are going to take away our jobs.  Humans will be left with nothing to do.  Since our jobs define who we are there are going to be a lot of lost people.  Well I don't necessarily agree with this thinking.  We need to have logical discussions about this and as Glen Beck has been preaching recently, and bring "reason" back.  

As Christians we are not defined by our job but rather how God sees us.  When we have Gods perspective we can bring value to our life and discover why we are here.  God sees great potential in all of us no matter our weaknesses or our defects.  We all have potential to do great things in God's eyes.  

We are not defined by our job or our career but how we treat others.  This is manifested in how we are engaged in our community.  We need to look for ways to help others, our neighbors, the elderly, and the next generation.  We need to show God's love through our actions.  Let this define who you are, let this be where you add value, feel loved, and feel valued.

As we move into a future of robots and reduced "jobs" we will actually be entering an era of freedom that we need to take advantage of.  We will have time to engage with others, make an impact in the community around us.  We need to look for and leverage these opportunities to be the hands and feet of Jesus. 

Creating community in our lives is what God has programmed us for.
