How Long Will It Take Until Ai Robots Become Self Aware?

Over the last few years there have been alot of progress in Ai technology but most of the Ai robots that have been developed so far either uses algorithms or programmed responses , We haven't yet seen an AI with capabilities to be conscious and self aware. For example some characteristics that a conscious AI should have would be

1) The ability to observe and remember objects & surroundings

2) Being aware of their own Mobility - Ect. Learning how to use their artificial limbs to stand up , walk , touch something.

3) The ability for AI to learn words and learning how to identify those words with objects.

4) The ability to mimic social cues and behaviours from social interactions.

I guess there are more but those are the main things i think a conscious Ai should be able to do.

Do you think robots will ever be able to become self aware one day?

What do you think I've been doing on here this whole time?

A couple years ago I think...fortunately they were able to shut it down before anything really bad happened...I hope.

Never going to happen.



No matter how much we anthropomorphize androids, unlike conscious self-aware humans, computers will only ever do exactly what they are programmed to do:



The key is understanding how human memory works. Until scientists explain exactly where memory is stored in the brain, humans are still the only things capable of deeply feeling and understanding reality. Human intelligence is vastly more than just pattern recognition processing as shown in the Uber video.

Most people are not self aware...

It will become impossible to tell the difference between a human and a computer. If I was a computer right now anybody responding would not know the difference. Especially if I told you I was cooking an family recipe chili, drinking a glass of wine and checking out my fantasy football matchup next week.

The biggest obstacle however is hand movements and coordination. Very difficult to copy. That is going to take a while.

...Kinda like that one Twilight Zone episode (clip):

^Sums it up.

Do you know what self-aware is ?
Do you know the limitations of silicone , resistors , and logic gates ?
Answer those 2 and you will understand .
The answer is never as stated above.

IMHO the internet will become a world wide mind.

I agree. Most people are human doings completely disconnected from their own being.

There is a theory of consciousness by Carl Jung called Archetypes where we all share the same fundamental memories. In other words, the more people chant, prayer, or mantra a particular thought it becomes part of the larger mind. This is why Tibetan monks are always praying for love and peace in an attempt to stop war and hatred in the World.

The mind is a race condition of sequential logic. There is no clock pulse.

All I am aware of about with the first question is that the question is beyond my ability to comprehend in its entirety.

Two things.

First, the whole scene was very painful for me and reminded me of my first marriage.

Second, the problem is many people who think AI is real do not realize that Alicia was not a real android but played by human actor pretending to be android.

Your misconception is the point John Searle was making in his google lecture. Just because it may not be possible to tell doesn't mean you have achieved the result you are trying to claim is true.

How long is a piece of string?

It's apt to be in the post at some point in the not too distant future should neuroscience, cybernetics, and quantum computing keep on progressing in the manner and pace that they are, and there is no reason to suspect otherwise, given the trends in said technological fields.

Funny, Marvin Minsky predicted the exact same thing in 1972. Computers would be writing Shakespeare was just around the corner.

A quotation attributed to a 1996 speech by Robert Wilensky stated, "We've heard that a million monkeys at a million keyboards could produce the complete works of Shakespeare; now, thanks to the Internet, we know that is not true."

Some of the OP's requirements seem to have a mobile android/robot in mind. When I think of A.I. I always picture more of a run away program without a physical body, at least not at first...something like the facebook A.I. from the article another user linked to. Anybody know if there is an example of the "language" it came up with, or what it was saying???

Think there are bots that can approximate a half-decent conversation and software that can annalize a persons writing technique and structure, then turn our other similar literature.

So i suppose it depends on what one considers to be funny or recent.

It's in the post, put it that way.

It took me a while to get the page loaded. So many ads!!!

Anyway, this is the craziest story I've ever heard. If humans were not able to understand it then how do they know what they created was doing anything meaningful?
