Um, why would you say so certainly that the computer doesn’t have free will?
After all, if we’re talking about a computer that learns and is intelligent, then we can’t dig up the code that makes all of that stuff happen directly—some of the code must trigger the learning, that learning then changes something (as a technical matter I can think of several ways to store the changes).
I don’t think I’d definitely say that the computer has free will, but I don’t think I’d definitely say that the computer doesn’t, either. Especially as we don’t have a clear definition of free will.
