Artificial Intelligence

Ray Kurzweil was asked recently about the political and philosophical implications of artificial intelligence being able to vote.


Speaking at Singularity University last year, Ray Kurzweil was asked the question, should an artificial intelligence that passes the Turing Test be able to vote.

Kurzweil recounted the scenario he laid out in his film, The Singularity Is Near where Ramona, the self-improving artificial intelligence fights for similar rights. The issue, admits Kurzweil is even more complex.

“In the world of computation in which an intelligence is just a process, you can run 100 processes on one computer or you can have a million computers that are one process,” says Kurzweil, “It’s very fluid—how are you going to count them? They don’t come in these discrete enclosures which are countable and you can keep track of them and say: ‘OK, you have voting rights; but you’re too young, you don’t have it.’”
