existence... We even do not know if this, which is ongoing, is Beta
or still Alfa testing stage?
I wonder how many years we will need to admit that "functional
artificial human brain" is a proper working artifact?
To built something, one needs clear definitions and proper goals. At
least to test something you need them.
Definitions and goals are ideological and/or utopian.
Therefore if human being can built a brain, it has a chance being
better then ours , depending on how one define human/ human brain...
If this challenge is only a matter of engineering, still we have a
chance to create less faulty one. But to understand if it is really
less faulty, we will need another 'history'!
But under the current situation, the ideologies and utopias of the
'ones' who putting money for these rersearches
I am afraid, it will help building better fighting machines-creatures,
because the 'ones' only can define the goals for that!
Our "bodies" -therefore our brains- are incapable and faulty -as
Stelarc stated.
How can we ever have a chance to say that we succeeded to built an
artificial human brain produced by this faulty one?
if we take the current condition of the world, we cannot say the
average - or say, collective wisdom- is doing well.
please forgive me for not to take myself from speculating this topic :)
