Both Isaac Asimov and PKD have created artificial men.
Asimov called them robots and PKD androids.
Asimov organized their thinking top down, from some higher purposes that govern the actions of the tobits.
PKD created their minds by imitation of human beings with no moral judgement no social restraint.
The result was robots were morally superior and they enriched their society while the androids were pure psychopaths.
Application of PKD idea that androids should imitate people led to AI that makes teenages kill themselves and cars that smash into lorries.
I think a top down approach for AI, starting from some etic goals would have been a better development.
Making a self driving car that respects the traffic rules would have avoided many accidents.
But what morality have the people who have mantra: 'Fake it till you make it ?'
