Interesting conundrum for Christians: When 2 people conceive a child, at what point do they imbue it with a spirit of life? It’s important because if a research team ever develops true AI advanced enough to qualify as genuine life, who gave it that life? Would it have a spirit?

My two cents: intelligence and life are separate questions. No machine created from the ground up by humans without some biological component should be considered life. It could be possibly be said to be intelligent in someway but if it's not biological, it's not life.

Until we get to the point where we are growing brains from genetically-modified embryos etc I don't see how a machine could be considered a person with rights, etc, even if it had the appearance of human intelligence. If it isn't a human, it doesn't matter if it behaves like one.

My take is: You can try and make as complicated a robot as you can, but it'll never be alive, because humans aren't God and they can't make new life. They can reproduce, but can't produce something new. Even if a bot is "sentient" it'd be lower than animals which have real life.

The problem with AI is that it will be chips, circuits & programming. I think they may mimic intelligence and sentience - and do it very well - but that will be because of the excellence of their programming. The key here is the artificial in AI. It will not be real. & not human

The idea that if you just add enough processor cycles, a mind will emerge, is a necessary naturalistic assumption. If you don't believe in God, it *has* to work that way. I don't think it *does* work that way, though. I think there is more to the Breath of Life that CPU power.

I think Detroit: Become Human tried to tackle this issue. Was an interesting premise that made me ponder similar questions.
