***** The more I think about it, you kind of have to think on even smaller scale. Otherwise, according to the definition you provided, many electrical devices are not machines (for instance CPUs, lasers, radio transmitters, immersion heaters, electromagnets, USB flash drives, ...) In that case however, almost everything can be considered a machine. So in the end, it comes down to our intuition / ingrained notion.(epistemological nihilism wins once again)

If the brain were so simple that we could understand it, it would be so simple that we couldn't.

Only one problem with that we don't even understand how a critical mass of neurons possibly in combination with random mutations in genes influencing brain structure caused emergent behaviours like consciousness or complex emotions in the first place. Worst part of it all is that despite our knowing ignorance of this we still have the hubris to use biologically inspired evolutionary neural networks and assume that our ignorant bumbling efforts couldn't possibly stumble on similar emergent systems. DNA didn't "think" that it would one day bumble it's way into creating a sentient entity capable of awareness of it's own existence yet it did it anyway, nor did any of those early sentient organisms "think" they would stumble on sapience and start producing complex machines of their own separate from themselves but that happened too. And now those sapient organisms don't think that their ignorant bumbling with machine simulations of those same basic building blocks will reach the same path but are they right this time? Guess we will find out one way or another.

Thank you for the great videos I learn a lot from them :)

I'd like to make a response to the "four requirements for AI to be like us": 1) Must recognize objects. 2) Must engage in complex dialogue. 3) Must be manually dexterous. 4) Must understand social interaction. For #2, there are plenty of humans who are thoroughly unable to accomplish this qualification (and I tend to include myself in the "sub-par" category). For #4, there are myriad number of human beings who cannot master social interaction. Many subcategories of autism, for example, can severely hamper social abilities for human beings. In the case of #1, there are very few people who have difficulty recognizing things and people and categories of things, but there are some individuals who cannot recognize objects, and in some rare cases, faces. In #3, dexterity is considered essential for a robot to effectively simulate human behavior. Well, yes. People move about. So a robot trying to simulate people should likewise move about. But there are also plenty of humans who can't even move their limbs (Stephen Hawking, for example). What happens if a human being lacks one of the "requirements for being a human"? Can a human lack all four and still be a human? Are these qualifications really what make us human?

@complementarycontrast4132

I said the same about four weeks ago (though unfortunately my version wasn't so well worded). The only requirements a program would need to have for me to consider it a true AI would be the ability to make a decision without knowing all the facts, the ability to learn, the ability to form relationships with other life and some kind of curiosity.

@complementarycontrast4132

As I understand it programs already exist that can code stuff, they just don't can't improve designs since they aren't actually intelligent.

Those who ask the question "will robots ever develop feelings?" seems to indicate a misunderstanding of just what human feelings are in the first place. Human beings ARE robots, biological in nature, and we have developed feelings over the course of our evolution. If robots do not develop emotions it will only be due to our lack of ability to program them adequately and not due to some limitation imposed by their nature. We will cross the boundary very soon into biological robots. People like to think emotions are something special because they want to feel unique, better than, or at least different from, the rest of the universe. Once you take away that delusion and see emotions in their true context it becomes a question of "will humans be able to program robots sufficiently complex enough to develop feelings?"

All I needed to do was see James May and I subscribed.

Great video!

I think this is possible because the brain is already a machine. It uses electrical signals just like a computer processor does.

They are in a way that they are pre-programmed/taught, and are only there to help our survival - and since we are intelligent enough to have pulled ourselves out of the vicious cycle of nature/evolution, emotions have become pretty much obsolete. We no longer have a need for emotions - scary, isn't it?

The singularity is a hypothetical moment in the future that occurs soon after humans develop the first AI that attains human intelligence and self awareness. Because this hypothetical entity would benefit from the numerous advantages that computer processing has over an organic brain, its intelligence upon inception would already be greater than any individual human being. Should the entity task itself with creating a superior intelligence, exponential progress would continue and soon an individual intelligence would exist that surpassed all of mankind. At this point a singularity (or event horizon) begins, beyond which we cannot predict the trajectory of the human race because progress on Earth will no longer move at a pace that is conceivable for us biological beings. Ray Kurzweil believes that this represents a continuation of biological evolution and a milestone on the same path of exponential progress that has occurred since life began on Earth.

The main concern about the singularity is that it may be a turning point in human history in which computer technology becomes the primary life form on Earth, pushing humanity into slavery to the computers. In a more realistic sense, the computer overlords would probably find humans to be rather useless and drive them to extinction, along with all other impractical species on the planet. If the computers developed human-like emotions, we would get an outcome that would either be the enslavement of humans out of sheer spite for the species or a benevolent nature reserve for humans to live out their lives in paradise. We won't know until the singularity actually happens.

Yes mostly chemical reactions but this reactions are triggered by events around us and that is the problem, Full Artificial Intelligence requires that a computer decides when the event is suitable to trigger this "chemical reaction" to experience the emotion and the chemical reactions trigger physical change in the body (speeding heartbeat, smiling, butterflies in your stomach etc.) this would not be present in a robot

@Caarnji

8 жыл бұрын

Youssef Khaled What would trigger things is the least problematic aspect though since it can at a basic level easily be programmed what triggers what. The more complex thing is for actual artificial intelligence to change and evolve through causes and effects like complex organisms and not just with having an effect from cause but also changing the own inner workings because of it so to speak. Theoretically though that´s no issue, just practically since neuroscience and robotics aren´t at a level to realize it. So a "robotic organism" must be made in a way that it learns and evolves, what the more complex issue is, programming a reaction to an impulse is like not a problem at all, doing that at a complexity level of organisms with a cognitive/nervous system is the issue I think.

The background to this video... Can I find this in "Little Big Planet"?

I can tell where you are going with this but like you said it whould ultimately fall short. The things about feelings or emotions is that they are affected by chemicals yes, but they are governed by a complex array of other factors aswel, mostly our trouble in recreating this boils down to our lack of understanding how WE feel in the first place, take depression, it's a selfamplefying loop of sadness and we know some chemicals that will curb it slightly but we can not at will create or undo it

Aaah his voice is so calming and nice to listen to! But technically, if we were able to re-create certain human instincts in artificial intelligence and give them the ability to learn and evolve, to grow like we do, then they could be classified as capable of emotions, yes? But it's just way too complicated for us to do right now?

@CarbonUnitX

9 жыл бұрын

Freja Rößle Yeah, I like May too :) The human brain is ridiculously complicated, so yeah, we're far off. But If we did create an AI complex enough to accurately mimic human development and behaviour and exhibit emotion, then we would have as much proof of it experiencing *actual* emotion as any fellow man - and that's not all that much... food for thought.

Does anyone know what software they've used to transform May's voice into a robot one?

You're right. All the comments that people have written here has given me new insights. I'm starting to believe that it's just a matter of time.

that will take its time, but in the end it will be mainly about understanding the brain exactly (and I mean totally perfectly in every single way) and then simulating that. We won't see that happening any time soon, and the costs of research will be tremendously high, but I believe it could be possible to be done within the next 100 years.

I bet that the machine which interprets dreams would be very useful for artificial intelligence in robots. Ideally, for a robot to be able to recognize objects all it needs to be able to do is record and capture video while also interpreting images in different ways. For a computer to recognize an individual it would just have to take a picture and compare it to it's personal "contact list" and then be sure to make special notes about the difference between individuals who look similar. That or some kind of retinal scan would work. This relates to dreams because if dreams are our mind absorbing and analyzing recent events than those images seen that reconstruct video are like the left over impressions on the brain of visual stimulation, by mixing that data that associates visions with computer code in an effort to "record" dreams and placing that in a robot that is actually actively interpreting its environment constantly and programming it with the ability to react to these situations. I think that will probably be a major step forward in the field of artificial intelligence. I also question the necessity of robots to be able to empathize in the first place, though they would be able to be programmed to respond to the situation in a logical manner. Such as "Why are you focusing on this breakup and allowing it to ail you. This is an opportunity for you to move on and be a new person in your life and dwelling on this event serves no purpose and can only waste your time." In essence they would have the potential to be psychologists and help humans manage their own chaotic emotions. Which while it would be hard to hear it is true that most situations requiring "empathy" are individuals dwelling on events and perpetuating sorrow for themselves. Of course if you were to program robots to learn and also have an in depth understanding of human psychology... that could really not bode well at all.

There was a really great video on Veritasium a while back about how we are reaching the limit of transistors built with classical mechanics, and how Moore's law is becoming invalid because of it. Currently, we can't build a processor smaller than an atom, because the electrons in the transistors quantum tunnel (which defies the point of the transistor, effectively making the "processor" useless).

Can't wait for top gear series 20

is there any other collaboration like this one?

As long as your computer has a microphone and it is not mechanically disconnected or otherwise not functional, it could be listening. But a computer that has lots of error messages is probably not one to worry about because after all, it's having issues on its own completing basic computer functions.

the uncannyvalley also includes #6 when the object is so human-like that we like it again (otherwise it would just be the uncanny slope ;) )

The maybot makes my throat soar.

where do i get James's shirt???

from my knowledge we have the ability to program robots with one or two emotion so i had the idea of making a group of robot systems like this but have them all feed through a more powerful system for example the main computer works out the emotion it feels and the sub computers run that single emotion the only falling point i can find with this is the link between these systems and the processing power required
