Answers
Emotions play an extremely important role in human mental life – but it is not, on the face of it, clear whether this needs to be the case for AI’s. Much of human emotional life is distinctly human in nature, clearly not portable to systems without humanlike bodies. Furthermore, many problems in human psychology and society are caused by emotions run amok in various ways – so in respects it might seem desirable to create emotion-free AI’s.
On the other hand, it might also be that emotions represent a critical part of mental process, and human emotions are merely one particular manifestation of a more general phenomenon – which must be manifested in some way in any mind. This is the perspective I’ll advocate here. I think the basic phenomenon of emotion is something that any mind must experience – and I will make a specific hypothesis regarding the grounding of this phenomenon in the dynamics of intelligent systems. Human emotions are then considered as an elaboration of the general “emotion” phenomenon in a peculiarly human way. There are a few universal emotions – including happiness, sadness and spiritual joy – which any intelligent system with finite computational resources is bound to experience, to an extent. And then there are many species-specific emotions, which in the case of humans include rage, joy and lust and other related feelings.
