Artificial consciousness - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Artificial consciousness (AC), also known as machine consciousness (MC) or synthetic consciousness, is a field related to Artificial intelligence whose aim is to produce a rigorous and objective definition of consciousness, in a mathematical sense, and build a theory toward implementating it in a model or a cognitive architecture. Because of the demand to be capable of achieving all these abilities, computers that appear conscious are a form of AC that may considered to be strong artificial intelligence, but this also depends on how strong AI is defined. A conscious machine could even argue that because it is a machine, it cannot be conscious in the same way as a human being who had misunderstood the difference between symbolic argument and experience might argue this. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Synthetic_consciousness   (3701 words)

Imagination Engines Inc. Accordingly, our scope is the broadest of any corporation on earth, dabbling in all realms of human endeavor and equipping humanity with the required synthetic intelligence to overcome our planet's most complex technological and sociological problems. A radically new form of neural network based artificial intelligence has been conceived that in contrast to preceding forms of AI, builds itself and then enters into an intellectual bootstrapping process wherein it learns from its own mistakes and successes to create useful ideas and strategies. Our unique and patented ability to 'grow' synthetic brain structures that are capable of creative thought may one day be recognized as the ultimate invention, one that can potentially invent all subsequent science, technology, and art. www.imagination-engines.com   (3701 words)

KSL-96-28 Combining visions from work in psychology, artificial intelligence and theater, we are studying the use of personality by intelligent, automated actors able to improvise their behavior in order to portray characters, and to interact with users in a multimedia environment. We describe the model of a synthetic actor that takes into account those concepts to choose its behavior in a given context. Personality is a set of psychological traits which influence an individual's behavior and give him or her a certain style. www-ksl.stanford.edu /KSL_Abstracts/KSL-96-28.html   (3701 words)

Digital Vick With respect to Synthetic Personality, it is my belief that this is a natural outgrowth of investigations in Artificial Intelligence, Artificial Life, Intelligent Interface Design, Synthetic Characters, and Affective Computing. A Synthetic Personality, on the other hand, is an attempt to create an autonomous entity that models the cognitive processes of human beings at core levels. To accomplish this, a Synthetic Personality must reason, create, and emote. www.dm.ucf.edu /~evick/research.html   (3701 words)

The Blurred Horizon Press: The Hal Papers Recent developments in the field of artificial intelligence (Al) (and synthetic emotions in particular) as well as social science research on human emotions are reviewed. The problem of consciousness has received recent and widespread attention, much of it focused on the issue of whether synthetic consciousness is at all possible. Most AI scientists have thus taken the approach that emotions are tangible and internally located "things" that can be synthetically replicated from a combination of digitized sensory input and programming protocol that mimics human brain MRI patterns. www.underview.com /bhpress/halpapers/emotions.html   (7380 words)

S/R 12: review: Our Stolen Future: Are We Threatening Our Fertility, Intelligence and Survival? The documentation that synthetic chemicals may be interfering with human hormones that regulate behavior and health in wildlife and humans leading to aberrant sexual development, birth defects, autoimmune disturbances, cancers and a staggering decrease in human sperm counts has left industry scrambling for rebuttals. Vom Saal began studying womb configurations of mice pups by taking the pups through Cesarean section and noting how womb mates were placed in vitro. Far less of a mystery than Colborn's journey of discovery of the link between organochlorine (environmental hormones) and the strange variety of biological reactions was the reaction of industry to her book. www.greens.org /s-r/12/12-20.html   (7380 words)

Agent Technologies The goal of the Synthetic Characters Group at the MIT Media Laboratory is to understand how to build interactive characters that come alive in the eyes of the people who interact with them. Their approach is to combine ideas from a range of disciplines such as: animal behavior, traditional character animation, artificial intelligence and robotics, and computer graphics and modeling. Professor at MIT Media Lab, he is currently starting up a new group called "Synthetic Characters" which will focus on the problem of building interactive animated characters. www.insead.edu /CALT/Encyclopedia/ComputerSciences/Agents   (4118 words)

AiKnowledge: 'Curious' Aibos More than 50 years ago Alan Turing, considered by many to be the father of computer science, speculated about the possibility of creating synthetic consciousness. Progress has been made with AI (artificial intelligence) systems, which have typically used task-defined learning algorithms that enable programs to define what is good or bad about particular sets of information in relation to achieving preset goals, according to SCSL researcher Frederic Kaplan. Their research won't lead to conscious robots soon, if ever, but it could help other fields such as child developmental psychology, they said during an open day in Tokyo. www.karmachakra.com /aiknowledge/archives/2005/06/curious_aibos.html   (278 words)

Metabody : Myths, Robots and Procreation Remarkably, this issue of the male procreation is little mentioned in discussions on artificial life and intelligence, mechanical wombs, robotics and cloning. Myths embody ideas and ideas embody in myths: the sun, moon and stars, the lakes, rivers and oceans, statues and clay dolls, all are quickened into a lively animation by the need to visualise an unknown force or feature in familiar metaphors in order to better predict the future and improve our lot. But the dream that began as a sacred transformation is overthrown and co-opted by a profane and male priesthood and could itself transmogrify into a nightmare of disembodiment and domination. pandora.nla.gov.au /parchive/2001/S2001-Mar-16/www.culture.com.au/metabody/text/mythrobopro.htm   (278 words)

NDP 2 Naval Intelligence - Naval Doctrine Publication Imagery Intelligence (IMINT): Intelligence derived from the exploitation of collection by visual photography, infrared sensors, lasers, electro-optics, and radar sensors such as synthetic aperture radar wherein images of objects are reproduced optically or electronically on film, electronic display devices, or other media. Intelligence plays a vital role by identifying essential and vulnerable adversary nodes, as well as by recommending those nodes that we should not degrade or destroy because of the intelligence gained through their exploitation.

Teknosis: August 1, 2005 - August 7, 2005 Do something to call attention to the fact that there is a grave danger of a synthetic terrorist action, a state sponsored false flag synthetic terror attack during the month of August and beyond, and that this could turn into this attack on Iran that Cheney is talking about. Sources say the alleged Chicago subway bombing attempt has been attributed to an underground and closeted enmity involving warring intelligence and military factions within the United States government. Until now, the Bush administration, the CIA, and the various official investigations, including the 9/11 commission, all claimed that only two of the hijackers, al-Midhdar and al-Hazmi, had come to the attention of US intelligence prior to the terrorist attacks. tekgnosis.typepad.com /tekgnosis/2005/week31   (12621 words)

Charles Ostman - Strategic Commodity Resource Brokeraging Sentience, as definable in part by the "awareness" of one's self, can in some cases be measured by the defensive posturing and maneuvoring that a "synthetic entity" will employ on its own behalf. Synthetic sentience, as an engineerable process, is rapidly emerging from the obscure realms of academic interest, or a narrowly defined range of industrial and military applications, and becoming translated into a viable, commercial commodity. The artificial intelligence developments that much of the public has seen evidence of from the "distant" past is nothing even remotely comparable to the current genre of this domain. www.biota.org /ostman/synthsn2.htm   (12621 words)
