Ghost in the shell
Human Cyborg Interface
In a world where parts of the body or the whole can be replaced, and mind can be augmented do you really want all the enhancements? What if you don't keep up to date with the patches, could be fun for hackers.
As the lines between human and machine blur the question arises what is human? If your entire body has been replaced and your mind is connected to the internet plus other networks how much control do you have left? Do you care as much about your body if any part can be replaced or upgraded?
Plus if we are continually connected with our minds, the AI will also learn, and become self aware at some point. Would such an AI be content to be limited to the various networks available to it or would it want to experience more?
Given that this film came out in 1995 it laid the groundwork for various visual effects and was the inspiration for a number of movies after including the Matrix. If you haven't seen this you should, it is an excellent example of what good Japanese Manga should be.
why assume that AI will become self aware?
If it is true AI, with general learning capabilities, then any rate of improvement I suspect will lead to that end. A self aware AI may not be a "bad" thing. It will of course have an impact.
I'm curious as to why they spend SO much money trying to develop an 'AI' that has the computing power of a cockroach...when we have so many cockroaches already.
Not to mention a plethora of other organisms some of which are demonstrably self aware.
If it were me I'd try to develop a neural interface.
I've always wondered what my cat was thinking.
It may not have that much power now, but neither did the personal computer back in the 80's. As this evolves so too will it's applications.
it doesn't EXIST now. Expert systems are NOT the same thing.
General AI is yet to arrive on the scene, machine learning with neural networks is making some significant advancements, and very quickly.
Good to see you are still around, old timer!
At last! A small sign that you are still around.
Happy to see you're OK.
Thank you...I'm good.
I'm slowly rebuilding my infrastructure in my now location. Shortly I will began posting again at length.
