Artificial Intelligence, Biomechanics, the Future!

FIRST, I do realize I should have put this thread under the Science section. Please ignore this accident and go to the rightful thread in the science section.

.................................................. .................................................. ..........................

Anyway, Seeing as the Supreme Dictator thread has moved into the bionic age, I have
created a new post dedicated to this topic.

I expect this thread to wander widely, that's fine. All those interested in science, information technology, artificial intelligence, philosophy, all are invited. Speculation, conjecture, and hypothesizing are all encouraged.

Artificial intelligence captures my imagination because in a distant age it offers the possibilities of minds that are exponentially greater than our own. Of course, many advances need to be made. The most fundamental one is the transfer from a digital computer, to a more organic, analog computer.

This discussion will also involve neurology, since in order to built a better human brain, we must first understand it.

How possible is genuine artificial intelligence? What implications does is have? How will it affect the world? How far are we away from this goal?

Take a look at the websites: http://www.kurzweilai.net

and 'What is Artficial Intelligence?' at:
http://www-formal.stanford.edu/jmc/w.../whatisai.html
The above website contains easily understood information, and the 'Basic Questions' section is beneficial.

To see AI in its infancy see a story I read recently at:

Hello guys i am new to this forum but i find the topic of artifial intelligence fascinating. Hace you evet seen the film terminator 2 judgement day with arnold schzanegger and robert patrick. the story being that robert patrick is a super advanced robot from the future trying to kill a child and arnold schzanagger is al less advanced robot trying tp protect the child. In the future the robots gain control of nucelar missiles and wipe out one half o mankind.The point I am saying is be carful when designing artificial intelligence. Because 1 day you will regret it. ha ha ha
