Interesting AI article Closing In On Consciousness. We all know about HAL. But many SF stories explore the challenges of AI. This can be a start. A number of recent articles highlight a few of many efforts to define consciousness - both in humans and perhaps one day in machines. A major new library of digital images from 7000+ subject brains has gone online, offering a new way to perform comparative studies and look for similarities and differences that define thought and consciousness. A new book is out that suggests an alternative to the Turing test may be as simple as looking in the mirror. Other research is showing that appreciation for music - long thought to be an example of conscious enjoyment - may in fact be just a byproduct of our brains being hardwired to understand language. And finally, DARPA is taking the first steps in creating what could ultimately become a machine consciousness in decades to come. 9:03:15 AM    comments & story ideas []  trackback []
