if a computer program that plays go counts as "artificial intelligence", what about chess machines? haven't those existed for decades?
- mckapur2 10y agoI used AlphaGo as an example. The point really is to examine, logically and philosophically, whether AI could be conscious. This brings into question things like our own free will.
- brudgers 10y agoJohn McCarthy [of Lisp noteriaty] asserted that thermostats have beliefs. Searle mentions it in Minds, Brains, and Programs [1]. It's perhaps as good a starting point as many to dive into the rabbit hole.

- gus_massa 10y agoAlphaGo is not conscious. DeepBlue was not conscious. If we wait some time (the mythical 20 years) we will probably build a machine that is so complex that can simulate consciousness so good that it will be undistinguishable from human consciousness. By the way, how are you sure that humans are truly consciousness and it's not only a simulation of consciousness made by the neurons?
