QUALITY DECISIONS. "Now extrapolate from a chess board to the world, which in some sense is a bigger chess board. If human beings are losing every time, it doesn't matter whether they're losing to a conscious machine or an completely non conscious machine, they still lost. The singularity is about the quality of decision-making, which is not consciousness at all." http://www.techinsider.io/artificial-intelligence-machine-consciousness-expert-stuart-russell-future-ai-2015-7 View in LinkedIn

BIG RED HERRING. "What AI people are working towards is a conscious machine. And that until you have conscious machine, there's nothing to worry about. It's really a red herring." http://www.techinsider.io/artificial-intelligence-machine-consciousness-expert-stuart-russell-future-ai-2015-7 View in LinkedIn

THE FUTURE IS NOW. “We can already see evidence of machine learning and machine intelligence in existing Google products like Google Now, the search function that forms part of Google+ Photos and Google’s self-driving car project.” http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2635011/Google-create-CONSCIOUS-computer-expert-claims.html View in LinkedIn

IMPORTANT NUANCE. “Taking into account the present scale of Google’s computer network, the size of its user base and its capital reserves, Google is well placed to take on something as ambitious as machine consciousness.’ Machine consciousness differs from machine intelligence.” http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2635011/Google-create-CONSCIOUS-computer-expert-claims.html View in LinkedIn

SELF-CORRECTING. “To become conscious, Sheehy said systems would need to be able to look at the rules the humans had programmed, to identify inconsistencies or gaps, and report back. Alternatively, they would need to be able to discover errors in algorithms and consciously fix them without being asked.” http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2635011/Google-create-CONSCIOUS-computer-expert-claims.html View in LinkedIn

SHORT HORIZON. “The consensus among supporters on when machine consciousness will be achieved is between 10 and 20 years. While that is a long time, it should be remembered that this is shorter than the age of the mobile communications industry and, certainly at 10 years, is close enough for this technology to have an effect on the valuations of companies, including Google." http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sciencetech/article-2635011/Google-create-CONSCIOUS-computer-expert-claims.html View in LinkedIn
