Would artificial intelligence believe it was an accident?

    No, because artificial intelligence, unlike humans, does not possess free will. Belief is a product of free will and moral judgment. Even animals do not possess the ability to believe in something. Animals are predominantly and basically instinctual [programmed]. Artificial intelligence is not far from an animal, without the capacity of belief.

    Second answer is correct. Artificial intelligence is not intelligence that is created artificially; rather, it is something that has the appearance of intelligence but which in fact is not intelligent. Artificial intelligence is to authentic intelligence as an artificial gemstone is to an authentic gemstone. Artificial intelligence is not really intelligence.

    Possibly you meant man-made intelligence; that is, manufactured intelligence. Assuming that such intelligence was capable of belief, it would seem that it could believe that it was an accident or that it could believe any of a number of alternate things.

    If an artificial intelligence evolved through the use of genetic algorithms would it believe that every line of code it had had been hand written by one man?

    Seeing how artificial intelligence is still merely imaginary at this point, the question is......................artificial.

    [Actually, there are multiple definitions of A.I. but I'm assuming that you as a layperson are assuming the ideal of true intelligence hosted by a machine and perhaps passing the Turing Test.]

    I don't think artificial intelligence would spend too much time on the question.

  • 1 decade ago

    Artificial Intelligence would more than likely believe whatever is rational, therefore it would accept evolution.

  • 1 decade ago

    Artificial intelligence would know of it's creator and how it was created... if the creator wanted it to know such a thing.

  • 1 decade ago

    It would have mountains of solid evidence showing that it was created, unlike it's biological progenitors.

    Interesting side note: AI researchers and roboticists often use evolutionary principles to improve their products, taking their machines in directions that are sometimes quite unexpected.

    It wouldnt "believe" as it would be either A yes or B no

    It would believe what it is programed to believe
