I'm reading a book. Worlds Keeper. This is from chapter 380. It doesn't have any spoilers, but I like this quote.
______________________________
The living mind is a repository of stored information and decisions. Right and wrong is not something that we're born knowing. We aren't born with the knowledge to talk. We are born able to store information, and use that information to make decisions.
What makes artificial intelligence so difficult isn't the ability to store information, but to properly access that information to make decisions in such a way that shows growth. One large factor for this is that artificial intelligence doesn't have the flaw' of age. Whether it is a faulty' memory that causes decisions to sometimes be erratic, or the simple moral code that we had grown accustomed to, an artificial intelligence typically doesn't have any of that.
Of course, who would want to program an artificial intelligence that randomly corrupted its own memories to simulate simple forgetfuiness? As a person, we could jog our memory, showing that the information was still there, simply stored in a hard to reach area of the mind.
Still, the most difficult part was to create the measures by which decisions would governed decisions... logic and emotion.
