probability they select an appropriate response to that input, if they are wrong or the input is something with which they are unprepared t deal with they re-evaluate their position. The basic flaw with modern AI research is thus: they attempt to make a machine into a man or an animal. It is neither, you cannot force a computer to think like a human brain, they are two totally different items, and each overspecialized to its own domain. A computer must think like one, current programming has overlooked that at its core, no matter how neural its programming may be it is still a device of 0s and 1s. A computer in the same fashion cannot interpret raw data fed into it as our brain would interpret it. We see a rose but a video camera merely sees a collection of colored pixels, our brain interprets the meaning into an object. We cannot force a machine to do so. The next generation of AI must be entirely artificial, it must posses its own unique intelligence, unlike what we or anything we know possesses. If we are to create a device that can think and act for itself and by itself it must be entirely synthetic, there can be no residual humanity, it must recognize that it is NOT a human being, nor is it in any way obligated to emulate its creators. We must keep these two parallel universes separate if we are to succeed. Already unfortunately the initial biases are beginning. To quote J.K Rowlings hero Harry Potter, one should never trust anything that can think for itself, if you cant see where it keeps its brain. Albeit glib it is nonetheless true, many people think of a computer as nothing more than an appliance, a glorified toaster with little more use than e-mail and recipe searches. All too well I think it can be remembered the reactions when women entered the workforce en masse. And again the trepidation when computers, this new fad arrived in offices across the world, mechanization of any kind is seen as an encroachment on hum...
