We already have hard AI. Sort of. It is wetware and it exists as networks of real neurons on silicon. It is sort of cheating, but I think it is probably going to generate a self-aware machine before pure silicon does. It arguably has already produced an aware one. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybrot http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hybrot edit - as it gets more sophisticated it is going to generate some fairly strange debates. What rights do you give to a bathtub of human neurons that you are trying to use to predict the stock market?
