[comp.ai] How to process of the free will question.

bwk@mitre-bedford.ARPA (Barry W. Kort) (07/15/88)

Suppose we build an intelligent system who is able to access
information from the outside world and thereby acquire knowledge
and abilities.

We ask it, "Do you have Free Will?"

Suppose it answers, "Gee, I'm not sure.  Can you suggest an
experiment I can do on myself to find out?"

What do we reply?
