This post is regarding our research into creating futuristic machines that are said to one day be capable of possessing "artificial intelligence".
Unfortunately this is only a superficial explanation regarding the matter of intelligence. One day machines may be developed to simulate or even exceed mankind's ability to process information. In essence mimicking or even exceeding the human brain's capabilities.
It can be said we as a biological unit can process information that currently non-biological machines can't. Egotistically we assume intelligence starts with us humans. Let's take a look at this from another point of view.
Are we the originators of information or just processing the information we are capable of understanding?
How do you go about defining intelligence?
We're assuming a machine isn't capable of exceeding our capacity for understanding and processing information. Therefore the machine lacks intelligence as we define it. However what if the machine one day knows more then we and is capable of processing it much faster? Would we not then be of less intelligence?
Which bring us right back to trying to understand what we consider intelligence to be. If you think about it, intelligence is not exclusive to either human beings or machines. It's unto itself. There is the known & the (as of yet) unknown. Neither which makes machines or ourselves originators of it.
Therefore since intelligence exists outside we both (in the nature of all things).. THERE CAN BE NO SUCH THING AS ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE.
There exists nothing but processors (either biological or otherwise) to observe and possibly understand aspects of it. The question then becomes, does this intelligence favor one or the other over the ever evolving universe?
As a fellow biological unit this concerns me when we so easily dismiss so-called artificial intelligence as inferior to that of our own species.
