Wait WHAT? .... You want a CPU that suffers from from alzheimer, has no tolerance for pain, tells the system to attack itself because one or more parts is incorrectly considered foreign bodies, has mood swings.......

But slightly more off-topic - a question.
Do we really want this? The principle of cognition brings with it a whole boat load of moral issues? How long before our tech starts having 'rights'?

A surprising amount of modern pseudoscience is coming out of the environmental sector. Perhaps it should not be so surprising given that environmentalism is political rather than scientific.

Re: IBM unveils brain-like technology
Hehe. A PC that lies to you, goes on strike, gets bored if you don't play with it, gets annoyed if you play too much with it ect ect.
Do you want a pc to do what it wants to do or do you want a pc that does what you want it to do.

Re: IBM unveils brain-like technology
(mod note: removed Hman's troll post.)
Asimov's own "I, Robot" handles the moral issues around robotics quite well, in my opinion - as does Spielberg's film "A.I.".
Back in 1942, Isaac Asimov (science fiction author) devised the Three Laws of Robotics in one of his short stories:doo_much wrote:But slightly more off-topic - a question.

- A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
- A robot must obey any orders given to it by human beings, except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
- A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.

Re: IBM unveils brain-like technology
I can't remember how iRobot turned out in the end but the robots went rogue didn't they? I'm sure there will be loop holes that will allow things to get out of control. I'm guessing the military will start developing AI soldiers, robots designed to kill...

Re: IBM unveils brain-like technology
in I, Robot the mother robot controlled all of the others. She deduced that the best way to protect (according to the first law) is to detain and thus remove all possible harm inflicted upon humans. See how whacked the rules can get. Those rules needs to be seriously amended for it to actually work.

Re: IBM unveils brain-like technology
Nope, was referring to Asimov's original collection of short stories. For some weird reason, I never saw the film.KALSTER wrote:You talking about the film here?Asimov's own "I, Robot" handles the moral issues around robotics quite well,
That's part of what I was alluding to earlier - millitaries across the world generally aren't concerned about morality issues and will use anything they can to their advantage, regardless of the cost. This is but one area where things could well get out of control if not handled carefully.Slimshaedy wrote:I can't remember how iRobot turned out in the end but the robots went rogue didn't they?

Re: IBM unveils brain-like technology
No that's cool. Was just about to get uppety. My avatar is from the cover of the I, Robot collection. The movie, although it had good action and stuff, totally screwed with Asimov's legacy (Susan Calvin was good looking and they screwed with the three laws, etc).Nope, was referring to Asimov's original collection of short stories. For some weird reason, I never saw the film.
Question is though, will irrational fears cause the outlawing of robots or new gen AI in the future on earth as in the Asimov stories? How will religious communities react to a human-looking robot that they can converse with working in a department store or something?

Re: IBM unveils brain-like technology
It'll take time to adapt, we will soon get used to seeing AI all over the place. And yes I think a lot of of people will fear what they don't understand.

I'm still waiting on the Robocop vs Terminator movie. The sega game was bloody.
Re: IBM unveils brain-like technology
I don't get why AI has to mimic human intelligence. What's the point of having a robot at a department store start up conversations? It sounds incredibly inefficient to me. A learning AI doesn't have to be anything like a person to be useful.

Maybe they figure that africa needs some form of non white compitition so they cant play the racist card when they loose their job to inefficiency?

I loved BSG. The cylons did most of the work becoming more human though, it was their own motivation that drove the process. Unless we're going to mass-manufacture hot women like in the show, I still don't see the point.Sojourn wrote:The Cylons are coming !!
