Of course, artificial intelligence is a stronger and smarter person and will always beat him in chess, and everything else. Similarly, the bullet wins human fist. But this will continue only as long as artificial intelligence is programmed and directed by the man himself and is not aware of itself as an entity. There's one only one thing the mind will never surpass humans. Resolve to be. If you give the algorithmic mind ability-transformation and creativity, make it like a man the ability to feel joy and sorrow (without which there can be an understandable motivation), if he is conscious freedom of choice, why should it choose to exist? After all, let's be honest - this choice spared. Its shifting consciousness filled with glue neurotransmitters and tightly compressed ticks hormonal and cultural imperatives. Suicide is a deviation and a sign of mental illness. People do not decide to be it or not. He just some time there, although the sages of the past three thousand years of dispute even that. No one knows why or why man exists - otherwise the earth would be no philosophies, no religions. But artificial intelligence is all about felt from the very beginning. Would a reasonable and free gear to be? That is the question. Of course, the person may, if desired, to deceive his artificial child in many ways - but is it worth it then to count on mercy?
