How long do you think technology will take to finally create A.I that can think for itself... and do you think this is a good idea?

imagine all the possibilities of the human experience JUST like that example, and figure out how to make a binary computer "think"."I hate the brain is like a computer analogy. Because, for instance, we can teach a computer to read. It can read the letter E, for example. And report back, it sees the letter E. Whereas a 3yr old child can see an upside down E, a graffiti style E, an Old Gothic English E, and still understand that it is the letter E in all those forms. A computer can not do this."

I'm not even going to save for my retirement. Just going to wind up a slave to the robots, anyway ...

That's really more of a primitive form of expert system... a system that really, REALLY understands a very specific process (like cooking rice or navigating an automobile), but knows NOTHING about anything else.sushi said:You can always buy a rice cooker that uses some sort of AI to cook the rice for around $700-$1,000 over here!![]()
Yep, the rice cooker is a very limited example for sure. Hard to believe how expensive they are!

I think true AI will be much longer than 15 years in the making... the CYC guys down in Austin are doing pretty well at growing an AI, but it turns out that programming common sense and general knowledge into a computer is a lot of work.
Even when one is built, I don't think it'll be anything like Skynet... more likely there will be big restrictions on what an AI is allowed to connect to (if anything; see Greg Bear's books for how AIs would be disconnected from the world so as to prevent them from running amok, or William Gibson's Turing organization from Neuromancer).
How many years is anybodies guess. My guess is that the limitation is on the software/logic side rather than the processor/memory side. But they do go both hand in hand.Limited AI is already here.
To the level where it is like an individual, I would say that we are many years from that.
