Creative Process in Artificial Intelligence and the Soul
Question
"The process that artificial intelligence goes through in order to create some image is not essentially different from the creative process that takes place in a person's mind—someone takes inspiration from his environment and from what he sees, and produces the output of his creation. That is what artificial intelligence does."
Does the Rabbi agree with this statement? Doesn't a human being have a soul that plays a role? Is there really no difference?
Answer
I definitely do not agree. There are columns 590–592 on artificial intelligence and on neural networks, and you can look there.
