Maybe "robotic" technology, devices that can navigate their environment independenty. |

(like the forthcoming TeraByte disc that is the same size as conventional CD/DVD) |

Sponsor |  WayneSmallman | Jul 29, 2007 6:43am | | I think AI may well come into it's own when 1. we know more about the brain, and 2. when we manage to build a functional biological "cell" processor... |

| | DockGreen | Jul 29, 2007 7:14am | Well that would be if you were going to model AI on what we and our brains do.
Given that you can start from scratch, there could be far better ways that the ones we use.
I think AI will really come into its own when it is seen as 'Intelligence' rather than 'a model of our Intelligence'
Maybe if we meet aliens, they will have their own ai systems with them... |

| | thegrafter | Jul 29, 2007 7:34am | | does a race of biological organisms own an AI system or act as a host or launching pad for an AI system? |
|
|
| | DockGreen | Jul 29, 2007 7:38am | | No one owns anything, except by majority agreement. I'm sure the organisms and the AI may disagree on this. |
