He continued: 'It would definitely have emotions - that's one of the primary reasons for doing it. If I'm on an aeroplane I want the computer to be more terrified of crashing than I am so it does everything to stay in the air until it's supposed to be on the ground.

oh boy...i feel the end of the humam race is much nearer than anyone had thought.

making a conscious computer (or AI...at least i think that's what he meant) is digging a hole for ourselves to jump into.

human consciousness will be stored on supercomputers, promising immortality

That's the coolest prediction up there ^^^

God, I just hope I'm still alive and have enough money to download my mind to a computer. I would love to live forever.

Very cool article. We have a lot to look forward too.

In all honesty, I want so much for there to be emotional AI.....but at the same time I don't.

Because it would be wierd.....hurting a computers feelings....it isnt living, it isnt organic, yet it would have emotions.

Plus I can't really grasp the idea, I can, but it just seems wierd.

They're going to decide that we're wasteful and get rid of us. No smart AI.
