- gjvc 12y ago(This question comes from the comments in the linked article.) "What is the need for trying to get an inanimate object to achieve consciousness, anyway?" Easy -- research grants and an academic life. Plumbing, electrical installations, and many other walks of life have much higher standards than software. IMHO, there is a much greater need for basic research into verifiable, industrial-strength software, (and hoverboards) than there is synthetic consciousness.
