To outline how we should counter the worst tendencies of automated intelligence, we must first understand the roots of morality and reason and why we have been misunderstanding the fundamental difference between humans and computers. Moreover, by critiquing the rhetoric and ideology of AI proponents, we can gain a clear understanding of the need to regulate our machines on a global basis through global treaties. Turning to Freud’s theories of empathy and reason from his \u003cem\u003eProject for a Scientific Psychology\u003c\/em\u003e, this book outlines why the human mind is different from AI, and why this difference is important to recognize.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cp\u003eRobert Samuels is a Senior Continuing Lecturer at UC Santa Barbra, USA.
