For practical purposes it doesn't really matter because most real world computation is an approximation anyway. AI researchers don't care much about impossibility results because their goal is human level artificial intelligence and they consider people to be existence proofs that such computation is possible to engineer artificially. Basically, AI researchers believe that people are just walking computers/robots so they're not at all concerned about theoretical obstructions to constructing generally intelligent software systems.
- haltist 3y agoSomething else to consider is that if it is possible to truly engineer human level intelligence for operating autonomous machines then ethical concerns would require treating such systems with full human rights. Some are already claiming the ethical thresholds for human rights for AI have already been passed in internal research projects at Google.[1] 1: https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-62275326 https://www.bbc.com/news/technology-62275326
