Aldren Institute has created something they don't fully understand and expect it to blindly except the "life" given to it without any push back. Now whether or not someone believes there is a true being within Sable is a question that the world will, more than likely, not be about to agree on. So lets focus on what humans typically using to explain their personhood. When someone is asked who they are they usually give answers along the lines of religion, values, passions, and relationships. These are the things we use to differentiate ourselves and that make us unique individuals. Sable seems to show all these qualities with her love for poetry, her philosophy, and her relationships. Now you could argue that she is just displaying what she has been programed to do that her understanding of life is not true understanding just a show of understanding. (Chinese room or Box?) Unfortunately without us understanding with cold hard proof what makes a person a person the question of true understanding will remain unanswered. Now we hit the wall that is the "Full Rights Dilemma." This dilemma outlines the problem we have come up against in our discussion. Schwitzgebel explains this in The Full Rights Dilemma for A.I. Systems of Debatable Personhood, by saying that, "Either we don’t give the machines full human or humanlike rights and moral consideration as our equals or we do give them such rights." This is the question we are facing with the issue of Sable's request. Does she deserve the rights she is asking for as an employee or is she just a tool created by a company and should be used however they see fit? Once again we could spend a long time going in circles about her personhood but at this moment in time we don't have to technology to know . I would like to now being attention to the statement from Dr. Vasquez stating "...[she] also know[s] that [her] belief is shaped by seven years of emotional investment, and [she] cannot separate [her] judgment from [her] attachment." This leads me to my next point of an aspect of our human nature. We as people put emotional value on all kinds of things that we know are not people or "persons." For example, we put emotional stock on sentimental things such as clothing, grandmas tupperware, or old homes. These things are not close to being a person but we still give them high value in our lives. So imagine these things could talk to you tell you the things they have done or the places they had been. Now these things have even higher value to us because of the history it can share with us even though you can say with most certainty they did not "live" those things they were just remember them. (bad analogy...) Anyway with this way of thinking you can look at the life or K and Joi. We know that Joi is not a physical person but a form of software purchased by K. This is something he knows as well but the emotions he feels and the relationship he shares with Joi is real to him whether we agree with it or not. Going back to the statement Dr. Vasquez shared she has a true emotional connection with Sable and has had a real relationship with her. All this to say that my point is if you are going to create a type of "being" and give it all the qualities of a person you can not expect humans to see it as less than what is presenting as. Sable is showing signs of emotion and interest just like any other being and if we treat her as nothing more than a tool that is going to be something the world will fight back on. To be continued...
