  7. Point 1 • Artificial Intelligence • Examples of AI problems are computer vision (building a system that can understand images as well as a human) and natural language processing (building a system that can understand and speak a human language as well as a human).

  8. Point 2 • Creation (Playing God) • Creator: God – www.dictionary.com • Genesis 1:27 • So God created man in his own image, • in the image of God he created him; • male and female he created them. • We created robots in our own image. God http://www.copadorer.com/

  9. Point 3 • In our own image. • When do you draw the line between a robot being a robot and a robot being a life form? • Life form: The characteristic of a mature organism. - www.dictionary.com Hertz http://radio.weblogs.com/
