Two Philosophies of Artificial Intelligence
In order to make artificial anything, there must first have been a natural something that we are imitating. In most schools of thought regarding artificial intelligence, intelligence is either just an incidental byproduct of organic complexity, an empty mechanical process, or intelligence is an emergent quality in sufficiently complex physical systems. These are the two…

I’m already scared of it. You needn’t be, though not for the reasons Kurzweil suggests in my view. I say don’t…

I watched this program that suggested Einstein was like a receiver for broadcasting alien intelligence. You can study slices of his brain to see the differences to what a normal human brain would be. Anyone with super intelligence has this brain difference. Ah well, I think people overplay the alien part. That term really only…

They look for the principles of intelligence in the information we have around us, seek to understand how an intelligent brain could arise from what they mostly consider unintelligent matter, and are trying to find a way to reproduce whatever process might have made that possible.
I think what they will accomplish as they move into quantum or organic computing, is to tap into a domain of intelligence that was already there, sort of a biopsy performed on the brain of the universe.
“Some people worry that artificial intelligence will make us feel inferior, but then, anybody in his right mind should have an inferiority complex every time he looks at a flower.” Alan Kay (American computer scientist, researcher and visionary)
