" Over the centuries, there have been many attempts by religious philosophers to prove the existence of God, and a canon of classic arguments has been developed. Not all of these arguments have their origins in Christian philosophy; Jewish and Muslim philosophers have made significant contributions to the philosophy of religion, and both Plato and Aristotle have influenced its development" (Holt,T.)(2010) The response that Augustine had was " that God will make our resurrection counterparts by reassembling precisely the pieces of matter of which we are made." (Holt,T)(2010) For the Christian theology the Christians believe "According to the Christian tradition, the dead will eventually be raised, judged, and either punished for misdeeds or declared righteous and welcomed into heaven." (Holt,T)(2010) So both of these religions have sort of the same concept of what they think will happen in the afterlife.

Which of the following is a strong ethical or philosophical issue around the development of artificial intelligence?
Select one:
A. AI rights within society; For example, if an AI killed a human, would the developer be punished or the AI? If the AI, what would that punishment look like? Another example: if AI have emotions based in experience, do they have the right to express those emotions? If an AI is feeling frustrated at the inability to complete a task, do they have the right to express frustration through tears, freaking out, or pouting? Would this change the way they interact with humans?
B. Are AI able/allowed to have sexual experiences, romantic relationships (with other AI or humans), spirituality, and altered states of consciousness?
C. The potential for AI to enslave or eliminate the human species; If AI has the potential to become much more intelligent than humans and it analysis threats to the Earth's existence, it could determine that humanity is the greatest threat and enslave us or eliminate us. How do we prevent that from happening? Or, is it valid for AI to identify us as a threat and seek the upper hand?
D. All of the above
