I am intrigued by the concept of artificial intelligence. And just what would constitute a sentient being.
Could a being that is classified as a 'machine' be sentient, and or self aware?
What would its status be?
Could it be a citizen, or would it still be property?
Would it be the 'ultimate hacker', able to go anywhere, and do anything it was told, or wanted to do?
Would it be trustworthy, or would it take on the characteristics of its creators?
Comments?
did you maybe watch " Terminator 3" cause i got kind of the same questions in my mind after watching it ....
if the robot would have its own feelings and intelligence ( to learn just like humans) they should be trusted .....
Haven't seen it yet....will have to now.
you will love it ....i got lucky and saw it one day before it got out ... my friends sister is the manager of the theater and we watched the movie .... just 4 of us in the whole theater ...it was great ... i love the movie ..... when you watch it ....think about how much Arnold Schwarzeneger had to train again to look that good (young) .....

Imagine calling a customer service line and speaking to an operator who, after listening to not just your questions, but your tone of voice and overall attitude, is able to determine where she should most appropriately direct your call.
"ethical " ??? That, I believe, is a misuse of the word. I really didn't see anything in the artical where ethics applied, but rather emotions, voice stress analisis, and keyword look-up.
Still, its a good idea and could be expanded to replace almost any of the bloody interactive menues that I seem to run into daily. Maybe I wouldn't be held on hold so long that way.....boy, am I dreaming.
Wonder if they will pass a law that AI driven voice menues announce that they are AI's and not a real human.
I also wonder if laws would have to be passed to somehow constrain AI so they would not gain access to other forms of AI...so they wouldnt share data with each other and learn through that way...that's just a thought.
There is a movie called AI(Artificial Intellegence) Where they make robot look and act like real people. They have feelings (sort of) and are able to move and learn. You train it to love, mind and be comited to you. In the movie they end up lasting longer than thier owners. Anyways it was a good movie, you should see it.
The movie AI was an interesting look at how mankind didn't seem to be ready to handle the consequences of Artificial Intelligence...I'm not going to say what it was, but what did you think of how the film turned out in the end ZombieGirl78? Do you think some of the events in the film could achieve reality at some point in the future? I have mixed thoughts about it...thanks for any input from anyone who's seen it.
There are a lot of exples that could be what AI is like:
Data (curious) from Star Trek
Marvin (depressive) from the hitch hikers guide to the galaxy
and the Kid from AI (obsessive)
I think that for the most part we could controlling in Asimov's laws, but If we can program them, are they really sentient or intelligent? They will provably end up like wierd humans if we ever achieve it.
FYI:
Asimov's Three Laws of Robotics:
1. A robot may not injure a human being, or through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
2. A robot must obey orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law.
Asimov's Three Laws were built right into the basic structure of the 'Robots' brain. What would it have been like if that weren't possible, such as right now. Would the newly aware robots suddenly consider mankind as it's natural enemy?Quote:

If there was an A.I. loose on the net right now, the significant word here is 'intellegent', and I think it would hide itself from us. I know I would. Mankind has a tendancy to kill or destroy anything it doesn't understand, or fears.
I agree.Quote:

I have mixed fealings as well. You would think that the battery would run out or something. I understand if you don't use a battery it won't run down. But he was also under water for a long time. Some of the things in the movie I don't see happening though--- just an opinion.Quote:

That's right. None of the three laws are by any means a law of nature. They were planted in the robots' operating systems on the most fundamental level, and therefore deemed "unbreakable."Quote:

Mox- You're idea of the robots seeing us as natural enemies is very Matrix-esque. :eek:
However, I do think it is highly possible. Just think a bout the leaps and bounds technology has made in just the past thirty years. Compare that to how long it took man just to invent the steam engine. It's almost scary.
P.S. For more history on Asimov's Creations, I suggest either I, Robot or Robot Visions both by the master of Robotics himself. ;)
Hmmmm. How about this scenario:Quote:

The first peice of code (or whatever) to become self aware (I use I think therfore I am as a very basic definition) is unlikely to be in an environment that it fully understands. So it will learn. If it was not connected then it would learn everything it could about its boundary and then ask what's out there?
How will it find out - Hacking, that's how. It will hack the systems that contain it to blazes and if that doesn't workit will try a form of social engineering to trick its human gaolers into connecting it...
And that's where the problem will really start.
Once it got a grip on what the internet has to offer (wonder if it will use Google?) then it's got some intersting things to look at:
All the worst of humanity has to offer - Extinction of species, pollution, war, lies deciet, torture and murder to name just the basics.
It'll take on board all the world has to offer in terms of processing power and come up with a 'plan'.
The first we'll ever know about it is when we sit down at our PC, kick up the mail client ant the speaker syas "I'm sorry Dave, I can't do that" ;)
Actually if we're lucky it might see some of the great things humanity has to offer, but I'm not hopeful.
