Because artificial consciousness isn't reachable. Neurologists haven't discovert the secret of consciousness and how it works. And thinking that machines could ever be such universal computers like our brains are more or less human hybris (IMHO).
- kamray23 5y agoBut that's exactly the deal with it isn't it? Neurologists have not discovered how consciousness works. However, we do know that our brains are probably where consciousness forms, that is, consciousness is a material phenomenon. We can already cram far more transistors onto a chip than our brains can put neurons in a similar space, however, because neurons are represented in the architecture on a higher level, that does not automatically mean we're past transistors. We have far lower neuron density in our current generic computing designs than our brains have. However, note that our current computing is done mostly on generic CPUs and PPUs (most often GPUs), which means that we aren't done yet. Recently, many companies have started pushing massively parallel architectures, more like our brains. If we figure out a way of getting to that brain neuron density, training aside, we'll be close to the material conditions which give rise to consciousness.
