The Speculist

The Computer's Day in Court

Here's a transcript from a mock trial to decide whether a company has the right to disconnect an intelligent computer. Interestingly, it was the computer itself which filed the lawsuit. (When this happens in real life, will it be the ACLU?)

I expect we'll see this drama played out eventually, and plenty more like it. When it finally happens, it won't come as any big surprise when the Episcopal Church decides to consecrate their first AI bishop.
