2 Mirrors On Ourselves Elaine Rich

3 The Thesis We (people) think we’re the coolest things on the planet.

4 The Thesis We (people) think we’re the coolest things on the planet. So it’s not surprising that, throughout history, we’ve thought about making artificial copies of ourselves.

38 How Much Computer Power Might It Take? http://www.frc.ri.cmu.edu/~hpm/book97/ch3/index.html

39 How Much Compute Power is There? Hans Moravec: http://www.frc.ri.cmu.edu/~hpm/talks/revo.slides/power.aug.curve/power.aug.gifhttp://www.frc.ri.cmu.edu/~hpm/talks/revo.slides/power.aug.curve/power.aug.gif

40 How Much Compute Power Is There?

41 Can This Trend Continue?

42 Our Working Definition of AI Artificial intelligence is the study of how to make computers do things that people are better at or would be better at if: they could extend what they do to a World Wide Web-sized amount of data, and not make mistakes.

43 How Will We Recognize AI? 1950 Alan Turing’s paper, Computing Machinery and Intelligence, described a variant of what is now called: http://www.abelard.org/turpap/turpap.htm

44 The Turing Test

45 Common Sense Reasoning Mary was excited when she found out that Sue had invited her to her birthday party. She wondered whether she should get her the new Harry Potter book.

46 Are We Special?

48 The Difference Between Us and Them http://www.google.com/recaptcha/learnmore

49 Consciousness You

50 Have We Become Them?

52 Should We Do It?

54 The Luddites, 1812

55 A Calmer Vision

56 We'll be able to send scanners inside the brain, tiny little scanners that are the size of blood cells, that will travel through the brain, through our capillaries, and actually scan the human brain from inside and build up a database that describes everything going on in the human brain. And that's a scenario that will be feasible within 25 years. (1999)

57 Why? Make life easier by creating artificial slaves. For if every instrument could accomplish its own work, obeying or anticipating the will of others, like the statues of Daedalus, or the tripods of Hephaestus, which, says the poet, of their own accord entered the assembly of the Gods; if, in like manner, the shuttle would weave and the plectrum touch the lyre without a hand to guide them, chief workmen would not want servants, nor masters slaves. Aristotle, (384 – 322 B.C.), Politics, Book 1, Chapter 4

58 Why? Make life easier by creating artificial slaves. Transcend our limitations

59 Why? Make life easier by creating artificial slaves. Transcend our limitations Actually fix ourselves http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=493772 0n&tag=related;photovideo

60 Why? Make life easier by creating artificial slaves. Transcend our limitations Actually fix ourselves Play God

61 Why? Make life easier by creating artificial slaves. Transcend our limitations Actually fix ourselves Play God Derive a better understanding of ourselves
