The standard talk about the Turing test in the film is flickering. The male protagonist thinks that Ava has passed the Turing test because of his passion for the robot.
So can the highly intelligent ava count as a person? In other words, what is the standard that distinguishes individuals with free will from robots? Is it artificial intelligence, emotion, or ethics, free will?
First of all, ava must be intelligent, and it is much more intelligent than human beings, able to complete complex tasks. But this does not mean that she is a living body.
——Artificial intelligence is not a criterion for judging whether it is a free individual.
Ava cheating and killing people in order to escape does not mean that she has a sense of freedom, she just doesn't have the set of human ethics. The set of human ethics is established by human society for collective life, and human beings learn ethics and morals through social life. For robots, ethics can be programmed as instructions and then act according to this set of ethics when making choices, but this is not true ethics.
If robots are allowed to learn ethics in the process of interacting with humans, a set of ethics should be formed for humans and robots, or between robots and robots. Of course, forming one's own set of ethics requires "free consciousness", and the autonomous formation of ethics is already the result of the highly developed "self-will".
-Ethics cannot be used as a criterion for judging whether they are free individuals, unless it is formed based on free will.
Ava deceived the male protagonist's feelings, and finally abandoned the male protagonist. Explain that Ava does not have the same feelings as humans? So ava is not a free individual? Can't say that. Because if Ava is a free individual, a life race, she may have her own emotional way, not necessarily the same as human beings.
——So the way of feeling is not the criterion for judging whether it is a free individual.
Ava has a desire to escape. The film does not explain whether the escape is a programmed instruction or Ava's own desire. It is possible that rich scientists have given all robots an instruction to escape, robots with insufficient intelligence can only knock on glass, etc. Ava is highly intelligent and will seek help through deception.
If Ava’s desire to escape is her own, can she do it with free will?
Let's compare animals. Under what circumstances will a living body have a natural desire to escape? A prisoner may escape from prison in order to escape the shame and pursue a better life enjoyment; a full orangutan may want to escape because the cage is bored; a paramecium may move around because there is not enough food ; A nerve cell is like receiving an instruction to keep receiving stimulation, and it keeps moving.
The will is constructed from the most basic instructions, just like a swarm of bees flying in the same direction, only to follow the bees next to them. And free will is based on a more complicated superposition of social life. Newborn babies just want to eat and be comfortable. They grow up and are tempted by sweets to learn to judge good or bad, and learn morals because of the need for mutual assistance. Understand and pursue a certain value based on the accumulation of personal experience. Each living body is initially injected with the simplest and primitive mission, perhaps just moving, eating, eating, sexual pleasure, and sexual pleasure.
Some biological viewpoints believe that life has a primitive desire to reproduce. I personally feel that this is also difficult to determine. People who want to reproduce offspring have the illusion that offspring can replace their own consciousness. This is a low-level consciousness that many animals have.
Free consciousness is the product of the superposition of consciousness and stimuli. In this case, absolute free will does not exist. ——So free will cannot be used as a criterion for distinguishing between free individuals and robots.
Therefore, if the robot is given a few initial desires similar to life forms, and enough intelligence, the robot can grow into a free individual, a population different from humans. It's just that the individuals of this population will not reproduce.
Life forms the illusion of self-will that has always existed through reproduction. What means is it possible for a population of robots that cannot reproduce but possess high intelligence to continue to exist? I think directly uploading self-awareness in a lot of robot bodies. The world may become a world ruled by the will of a few robots (the author's brain is provoked).
