Culpability
by
Empathetic dysfunction, her therapists call it, a sometimes debilitating response to an overload of impersonal but negative information.
“She turns and looks out over the inlet. “I want to believe in humans. I want to believe that even at the last second, an AI can and should be overridden by a knowing, human conscience. By a moral mind with a soul. Now I’m not so sure. There’s a place for algorithms, a bigger and bigger place. But people have to be better, too. They have to not drink and drive. They have to not text behind the wheel. We shouldn’t make these machines because we want them to be good for us, or good instead of us. We should make them because they can help us be better ourselves.” She turns back to me. “Sorry, I’m preaching.”
