does sentient, sapient artificial intelligence have a soul?

>does sentient, sapient artificial intelligence have a soul?

1) NO matter 'has a soul.' That is, there is no characteristic intrinsic to any matter which allows it to 'possess' an immaterial/supramaterial body. These bodies DO exist, and they do interface with matter, but THEY possess the matter, and not vice versa

2) All matter that exists is possessed by Spirit, regardless of that matter's complexity, capacity to compute data, or self-awareness.

3) There is no such thing as 'artificial' intelligence. All intelligence arises from nature. Humans evolved naturally, and anything we create evolved naturally THROUGH us. A computer is as natural as a tree or a beehive. It is just another step on the path of increasing complexity/negentropy on the local scale.
