NO ROADMAP. “There is no scientific theory that could lead us from a detailed map of every single neuron in someone's brain to telling us how that physical system would generate a conscious experience. We don't even have the beginnings of a theory whose conclusion would be "such a system is conscious." http://www.techinsider.io/artificial-intelligence-machine-consciousness-expert-stuart-russell-future-ai-2015-7 View in LinkedIn

THE DARK AGES. “I used to say that if you gave me a trillion dollars to build a sentient or conscious machine I would give it back. I could not honestly say I knew how it works. When I read philosophy or neuroscience papers about consciousness, I don't get the sense we're any closer to understanding it than we were 50 years ago.” http://www.techinsider.io/artificial-intelligence-machine-consciousness-expert-stuart-russell-future-ai-2015-7 View in LinkedIn

BLUNDERING ALONG. “The biggest obstacle is we have absolutely no idea how the brain produces consciousness. It's not even clear that if we did accidentally produce a sentient machine, we would even know it.” http://www.techinsider.io/artificial-intelligence-machine-consciousness-expert-stuart-russell-future-ai-2015-7 View in LinkedIn

BIOBRAINS FOR ROBOTS. "The use of implant and electrode technology can be employed to create biological brains for robots, to enable human enhancement and to diminish the effects of certain neural illnesses. In all cases the end result is to increase the range of abilities of the recipients...a key element being the need for a clear interface linking a biological brain directly with computer technology." https://lnkd.in/dpw43bz View in LinkedIn

AUGMENTATION. "Memory enhancement, an increased range of senses, dieting control and thought communication will all be on the market, while technology to allow for multi-dimensional thought will be at the planning stage. All of these upgrades will be based on a direct link between a human and a machine brain. In this way the ever increasing power of machine intelligence can be used to provide an improvement in human capabilities, rather than allowing intelligent machines to make important decisions." https://lnkd.in/dAYaNJu View in LinkedIn

THE MATRIX. "The idea of superintelligent machines may sound like the plot of "The Terminator" or "The Matrix," but many experts say the idea isn't far-fetched. Some even think the singularity -- the point at which artificial intelligence can match, and then overtake, human smarts -- might happen in just 16 years." http://news.discovery.com/tech/robotics/intelligent-robots-overtake-humans-2100-130508.htm View in LinkedIn

EERY SILENCE. “However, there might be a human mammary pheromone, suggested by the response of human babies to secretions from any lactating mother, not just their own. Babies suck in response to secretions from the areola gland around the nipple. These are being chemically investigated and, if the early observations are substantiated, could lead to the identification of the first human pheromone.” https://lnkd.in/drx5_4e View in LinkedIn

HUMAN PHEROMONES. “This ever interesting question remains unresolved. Sadly, though widely offered for sale, the putative human sex ‘pheromones’ androstadienone and estratetraenol (and androstenol and androstenone) have never been properly demonstrated to be pheromones. This has not stopped many studies claiming to show such effects, likely to be false positives since there are no reasons to even suspect these molecules are pheromones.” https://lnkd.in/drx5_4e View in LinkedIn
