In fact, corporations display many of the characteristics we typically associate with AI: perfect recall due to record keeping, ability to pay attention to many things at once, in theory immortal as long as it can keep up funding itself, can do projects that surpass the ability of any normal human to comprehend by itself, etc.
It's a bit slower than we regularly imagine computer-based AI to be, of course :)
- nyc111 9y ago>corporations display many of the characteristics we typically associate with AI... I agree with your comment. This is how I think about corporations too. But I'd like to mention something about the name "Artificial Intelligence". I think that Artificial Intelligence is not artificial and it is not intelligent. I define AI as the ability of an organism to make right decisions to perpetuate its existence. Not only this is not artificial it is a widespread natural process. I also use it as the definition of life. An organism that can make the right definitions to perpetuate its existence is said to be alive. Or maybe, more generally, the ability to make decisions.
- thaumasiotes 9y ago> perfect recall due to record keeping I'm pretty confident there are not now, and never have been, any corporations with this characteristic.
