>Artificial brain brings food for thought



etvas thought food 4 your thought.
glial cells = much much much more numerous than neurons.

guess what +?


they like to play 222222222222222

nn used to think that 2222222.

how will you spend your free time +?




>At the Kyoto Advanced Telecommunications Research Institute yesterday,

>In the next 12 to 15 months the cellular automata machine (CAM) in his
>laboratory will create a device composed of 75million silicon neurons,
>similar in capability to those in a human brain.

>The neuron networks are built up so that their connections are random, as

>discarded by a system based on Darwin's theory of evolution. Even so, the

>When it is finished some time in 2001, this artificial brain or "artilect"
>will go into a four-legged robot called Robokitty.

>By then work will have begun on the next generation of the artificial brain
>which, Professor de Garis says, could be finished about 2007 and would have
>more than 10 billion neurons. This would bring it to about the level of a
>village idiot but within reach of the 23billion organic neurons contained in
>the cortex of a human male (19 billion in a female).
>
>Then comes the third generation, which Professor de Garis expects to be
>finished about 2011 - a fearsome creation of 1000billion neurons, vastly
>larger than that of a human.

>"By then," says this unconventional Australian, "I expect we'll be in a

>Futurologists, such as the American computer engineer and author Ray

you mean like the contempt humans have for god +?

or wait... humans created god

so ... you mean like the contempt god has for humans +?





Professor deGaris - simply.employed


nn - this century's burning issue. [i am dressed in fire]






>On one side will be those afraid of the consequences of the science. On the

>artilects are created by humans, then humans can set the boundaries for the
>artificial intelligence.

>Professor de Garis is not so sure about humans retaining control,
>particularly when it comes to a silicon brain 40 times smarter than your
>average man. These, he says, should be coming out of the CAM machines by the
>second half of this century.
>
>Some see parallels with the debate raised by the cloning of Dolly the sheep.

>The CAM machine with which Professor deGaris is working was built by
>Genobyte, a US company based in Boulder, Colorado. It produces microscopic
>modules on silicon chips each of about 1000 artificial neurons. Such
>electrical connections in our human brains control our movements, our senses
>and, perhaps most ominously when it is seen in an artificial environment,
>our emotions and our imaginations.
>
>In his profile on his personal website, the professor says: "My dream in
>life is to build artificial brains with billions of artificial neurons, and
>see brain-like computers become a trillion-dollar industry within 20 years."
