[math-fun] the end of humans according to S. Hawkins
Hello funsters, a recent interview from the BBC to Hawkins, http://www.lemonde.fr/pixels/article/2014/12/03/hawking-l-intelligence-artif... but well the article is in french, maybe there is an account on the bbc site about it ? Recently I was talking to someone about that subject of the artificial intelligence : there is a comparison we can do with planes. Saying that artificial intelligence won't happen is like saying that only birds can fly when a plane does fly and has wings, they don't flap, they don't sing but sure : they fly. In my opinion it is the same thing. Eventualy this will happen. Best regards, Simon Plouffe

I agree. But supposing, as seems likely, that AI is realized in a different way than brains (as aircraft are different from birds) will the AI include consciousness? Is consciousness just a spandrel of human evolution or a necessary adjunct of intelligence only because of the historical accidents of evolution? Brent Meeker
Perhaps also that the notion of consciousness will end as well. In recent years many scientist have found that animals have some kind of intelligence, parrots, dogs. Dogs have emotions. what if these concepts could be simulated on a machine ? Are they all parts of the same thing ? well, these are very philosophical questions, speaking of witch, perhaps even a computer program could do the same ? Best regards, Simon Plouffe
