Re: <nettime> FWD: The Copy Far "AI" license (fwd)


Dear Thomas,

One thing I find deeply disturbing, as "AI" gets more nearly convincing,
is the utter lack of licenses in which any thought is given to the
freedoms of *the AI* itself.

Thank you for the interesting idea. As far as I know, opcodes and assembler commands are matched 1:1 in computer technology. Digital electrical Turing powerful machines are thus as free as stones - no matter which algorithm is run. Assuming a freedom of stones would render the idea of freedom useless, since everything would be free by definition (including slaves). Considering the freedom of an AI in a license would thus unfree people - and that's just the opposite of what is intended with open licenses.

But I would really like to learn more about the idea that an AI might be free. I've heard this quite often, but never understood the concept. Can somebody help me?
