HAL 9000 here by 2050

you mean like Arthur C. Clarke foresaw that we would have this level of Artificial Intelligence in 2001 when he wrote the story in 1968? Why do you think another 48 years is going to bring it any closer?
 
Arthur C. Clarke was off my 40 years :) (HAL 9000 was created in 1992)

Hopefully it won't try kill its masters :P
 
You could write tonnes of lines of code, covering all possible situations and results. But you would still be missing one thing, which is a Reason to do or not do a thing. That is what separate us from the machines. Until they can find a reason that means something for themselves, no amount of fancy code from us, will make them come alive.

Sure Intel and other bright boys can fake AI and fool a lot of folk, but put a bananna peel in the way of the machine, that the code does not mention and it will slip on it.
 
Guys, I've seen the movies and the series - this is not going to end well for us humans!
:D
 
The guys in my lab competed in the robocup this year in china - its extremely difficult stuff. Just getting the robot to find the ball is really tough because its computational power is so limited. By the lime you've processed the images of the ball, the ball has already moved a meter. Its extremely difficult stuff to do. Things are progressing, but I think it would be around 70 or so years until we have something like an I-Robot doing the dishes.

I saw a bit of a previous robocup - the ball was between 2 robots, one robot bigger than the other. Both started the kicking motion at the same time, but the little one kicked the ball first, with the bigger robot's foot only coming down about 2 seconds later. The ball was gone by that time, and it kicked the little robot. If the little one had any decent AI, it would've gone down and rolled around the pitch in agony!
 
Wat about that rat brain robot ... if they can configure a real live brain for a robot ... then that will be true artificial intelligence, because brain cells learn. I guess something similar to RoboCop, except he was a person before he was a robot :P ... or maybe the robot from the movie stealth ... an artificial real life brain.
 
is anyone aware what happened to hal9000 ? and westworld like someone said.

Yes, Bring on Casandra :)

Any one have any luck with the video on the Emotive Systems site, mentioned in the last part of the article?
I can't seam to get them to start, could be my flash version.

Are you seriously suggesting that 48 years of scientific progress is irrelevant?
