Hello!
I am posting here for the first time and I would like to ask you some =
questions as I see that you are working regularly on artificial =
intelligence.
Do you think that artificial intelligence will lead to selfconsciousness =
of the program in the end? How far, you think, is this possible? (In the =
far future)
I was discussing this subject with a friend and he had the idea that in =
the end we might not continue to try giving a machine a consciousness =
but develop cloned individuals (thus a human brain in labatory) which =
will get programmed in a new way. An organic intelligence.
-> I know, I am coming up with a heavy issue concerning ethics.=20
What I want to ask you is, how do you see the future concerning this?
How do you think the steps to self consciousness will look like? Are =
there any steps or sudden awareness?
Well I am really curious. ;-P Besides, I downloaded the program D and it =
is a lot of fun. Thanks for providing the sourcecode to everybody. And =
explaining all the details. :-)
Greetings, Kristina
