speed is clearly not a problem for the neuromorphic processor in our heads, which uses pretty much exactly the same system. — Mick Wright
These processors are designed specifically however to enable machine learning models to 'think' in pretty much the same way we do — Mick Wright
So if a system (through whatever system at all) presents the ability to 'think'... then it now presents, in my mind at least, the question of ethics. — Mick Wright
AI should be used in data science applications, like for processing patterns in extremely large but specifically parameterized data sets, and not as some kind of companion, because once the Pandora's box is opened, sentient computers will quickly become more powerful than us and kick our asses. We all know this, anyone watch sci-fi movies since the 1980's? — Enrique
And like has been stated in this thread, generalized AI as it is likely to exist in the 21st century will not much resemble a human brain, — Enrique
