Experts want to give AI human ‘souls’ so they don’t kill us all By Cointelegraph

Until now, its been assumed that giving artificial intelligence emotions allowing them to get angry or make mistakes is a terrible idea. But what if the solution to keeping robots aligned with human values is to make them more human, with all our flaws and compassion?

Thats the premise of a forthcoming book called Robot Souls: Programming in Humanity, by Eve Poole, an academic at the Hult International Business School. She argues that in our bid to make artificial intelligence perfect, we have stripped out all the junk code that makes us human, including emotions, free will, the ability to make mistakes, to see meaning in the world and cope with uncertainty.
