Can artificial intelligence have free will? This is a rather difficult question. Especially given that there's a lively debate about whether human beings have free will.

But assuming for a moment that we do, we also have to look at the artificial intelligence that we have at present and we have to conclude that it doesn’t have free will. Artificial intelligence right now still acts like a mechanical clock just running its course.

After all, it has no ability to alter its own programming at its own will. It merely acts at the behest of the directions it received in its programming. One can, however, imagine a future in which different models of computing put volition, intentionality, and even free will onto the artificial intelligence.

But, we are so far away from that, that it is still a consideration that lives best in science fiction, and we must understand that everything the AI does today is a decision made by a human.
