Learning, the Person and Religion

Thus, learning comes centre stage in arguments about the possibility of what it means to be a person, and about arguments about consciousness, and arguments about strong AI and robots.

Most controversially, Furse argues that it is perfectly acceptable for a Christian to believe in strong AI, and even a complete computational account of human nature, without being inconsistent with his Christian faith. Here he builds upon work by Margaret Boden at Sussex University who has argued extensively and clearly that free will and mechanistic accounts are not incompatible.
