David Deutsch thinks about advanced AI in a very different way than most people. He says real intelligence is not just about giving correct answers or copying patterns. It is about creating new explanations and thinking through problems. So a true AI would not just repeat what it has learned. It would come up with its own ideas, test them, and improve them. Because of this, Deutsch believes you would not simply “build” an AI like a machine. It would be more like helping a new kind of mind begin to think for itself.

Because of that, Deutsch says we would need to teach and talk with AI, not just control it. Instead of typing commands and getting fixed results, we would have conversations. We would ask questions, challenge its thinking, and listen to its ideas too. If we tried to control everything it thinks, it would not be truly intelligent. Just like students need freedom to learn and grow, a real AI would also need space to explore ideas and make mistakes.
This leads to an important point. Deutsch believes a true AI would be more like a person than a tool. That means we should treat it with respect, not just use it for tasks. Turning it off or forcing it to think a certain way could be a serious ethical issue. In his view, humans and AI would learn from each other, almost like teachers and students at the same time. Instead of creating something to control, we would be starting a relationship with a new kind of thinking being.
