"We are a lot closer to being able to create an
artificial human than we
are to being able to comprehend the consequences of creating an
artificial human."
I realise that this is not *directly* about +10 year old computer systems,
but it does directly relate to the them and their role in the history of
this field (which is what I originally asked the list about). Does anyone
on the list want to take it outside to a temporary list to discuss the
moral/ethical/probability issues of artificial life? Let me know by
email and I'll set one up.
If you choose to set one up, this is what my thesis is all about - the
moral status of such AI systems should they ever be created. :)
