IOW, it should actually have the five senses. Perhaps, a mix of pattern learning, match learning and theoritical learning can enable it perceive things similar to humans.
Yes, I think, it can think independently on it's own. Still, it would never be human. > --- <jr_esq@...> wrote : Jedi, In order for a machine to have artificial intelligence, it would have to process information based on the human senses, such as seeing, hearing, touching, tasting, and feeling. As such, it would be able to understand and communicate with human beings. Also, the programming of the human senses would have to be related to Nature at large, such fire, earth, water, air, and ether in order for the machine to understand and communicate in terms of human intelligence. Further, the machine would have to be programmed to understand the various levels of human consciousness, such as waking, sleeping, dreaming, and the other higher states of consciousness. Assuming that a machine can be programmed to mimic these qualities, would the machine be able to think spontaneously on its own and transcend the thoughts or information that it's processing? IMO, these machines could mimic intelligence but for specific purposes, such as playing chess, playing jeopardy and predicting the weather which can be done by brute computation of data. Or, maybe even predicting the stock market. But they would not be human. > > --- <jedi_spock@...> wrote : Artificial Intelligence or machine intelligence is basicaly linear in nature. It uses boolean logic at every step. It might be fast, but still linear and lacks certain qualities of biological or natural intelligence. Biological intelligence or human intelligence is non-linear in nature. Pressures of survival stimulated by sensations of 'pleasure and pain', emotions of 'fear and anger', over millions or years created a non-linear brain. The three parts of the brain, reptailian, mammalian and human parts of the brain are actually three brains, operating and having their own sense of time and space. It is doubtful if AI would would be like human intelligence, but we can theoriticaly do what happened in the TV series 'Fringe' by increasing the analytical intelligence in humans to override primitive parts of the brain. > > > --- <jr_esq@...> wrote : > > > Stephen Hawking thinks so, but adds a warning. > > > > > > http://blogs.marketwatch.com/themargin/2014/05/04/stephen-hawking-warns-of-our-best-and-maybe-last-creation/ > > > > > > http://blogs.marketwatch.com/themargin/2014/05/04/stephen-hawking-warns-of-our-best-and-maybe-last-creation/
