ABSTRACT

A discussion on how artificial machines with natural intelligence would be safe or not is made based on scientific, philosophical and theological arguments. The finite or infinite nature of the universe is discussed and the implications analyzed. The concepts of destiny and free will are considered, with implications on what it would mean to create an artificial consciousness and how it would be possible to give it or deny it its free will. Computer experiments are carried out based on cellular automata and the results considered. A thorough discussion follows and a conclusion is reached.
