Machine Consciousness - Imprint Academic

description Reviews Formats

From the toaster that burns our breakfast to the video recorder that wipes out our favourite movie, we've all had that feeling that a machine is out to get us. So can a machine really be conscious? Can it have feelings? Well, even the humble thermostat knows when it gets too hot—and it can do something about it too. But can a machine think thoughts? Does it have a personality? How would you know?

"I am aware that I can't give this book its due by simply listing the titles and the general flags under which they sail, but that is simply a consequence of the sheer wealth of ideas that are presented by leading researchers in the field looking at the problem of machine (and human) consciousness from all possible angles."
