Artificial intelligence isn’t possible. ASIMO has no intelligence. It takes data from sensors and based on what the program says it has a response. Intelligence says that you have to have a response to every action/scenario. It is impossible to do that with programming. It can’t be done. Programming is purely reaction and not proactive.

I think the Matrix movie has an interesting persective. That humans will try to remain dominant in a battle where computers and robots will be have more unity and more communication.

What makes our existence so special to us, is the fact that we exist in one body. Once bodies are transcended and can be replaced, or jumped from body to body, once experiences can be exchanged like downloading files. It will be more like an RTS game, controlling many as one would have control over their arms and legs.

Our experiencing of existence makes it hard for us to let go. The fact that we are tied to our brains, means we can’t jump from body to body as easily as robots. Robots would never understand why we don’t want to.

There in will be the conflict.

Then again, it could happen that the human brain become a comodity. That is robots that want to experience existence may try and aquire brains. Sort of like Zombies!!!

As for if it’s possible for AI to emulate and match the human brain? Everything is about tools and apply tools, that is observing patterns and then connecting patterns for more information to be observed. As primitive man developed, his arms developed in such a way that he became grabby with his hands, grabbing things. Out of this developed grabbing and letting go in such a timely manner as to toss something. To which came throwing. Seeing an effect followed by a cause, such as that a thrown rock makes it easier to catch prey, one needs to merely to connect these observed patterns and then you have hunting by throwing rocks. But rocks are not the only thing that can be thrown. Sticks as well, although they probably observed that sticks were not as effective but traveled farther, and they probably observed that some rocks were better for catching prey then others. At some point the grabby men, were grabbing things and some of those things didn’t move, but rather would bend and get twisty. It’s possibly twisting may have even been a way to get food. Through there twisting something probably got stuck onto something else, and one of them eventually connected the patterns together and created spears. This all goes back to the developement of the human body, and how humans could accidently do things. Calibration is this process by which we do something and record information about what happens. A lot of robotics and machinery go through a process of calibration. The human body like a machine has to be calibrated, that is what we go through when we are babies, we do not have full control over our bodies, we are getting used to our bodies by grabbing things and touching things. But this calibration process can lead to accidental discoveries, such as using hands to grab and throw things. Anyway, the robot is just not developed yet, but that doesn’t mean it will never be to our level.
