McCarthy, John and P.J. Hayes (1969):  ``Some Philosophical Problems from
the Standpoint of Artificial Intelligence'', in D. Michie (ed), Machine
Intelligence 4, American Elsevier, New York, NY discusses the problem of
free will for machines.  I never got any reaction to that discussion,
pro or con, in the 19 years since it was published and would be grateful
for some.
