Abstract

The article studies three questions of having free will in relation to artificial intelligence (AI). Two of them are whether AI can have free will and whether AI can somehow influence the degree to which people have free will. In order to discuss and, where possible, solve these questions are considered different approaches that are presented in contemporary analytic philosophy of consciousness to what should be understood by having free will. The third question addresses some of the main concerns related to the idea of AI having free will.
