Planes that are afraid of crashing?
An interesting excerpt from
http://www.cnn.com/2005/TECH/05/23/b...oad/index.html : " Pearson (some brainiac computer expert guy) predicted that it would be possible to build a fully conscious computer with superhuman levels of intelligence as early as 2020. IBM's BlueGene computer can already perform 70.72 trillion calculations a second and Pearson said the next computing goal was to replicate consciousness. "We're already looking at how you might structure a computer that could become conscious. Consciousness is just another sense, effectively, and that's what we're trying to design in computer." Pearson said that computer consciousness would make feasible a whole new sphere of emotional machines, such as airplanes that are afraid of crashing." I'm not sure if this is scary as hell or not. -- Jim Fisher |
