Russians create 'artificial human brain'

Artificle brain

OMG freaky....

:Q

 

[Azraele]

Woah, that is pretty freaky. I know they said it's based on the workings of a human brain cell, but so little is understood about the human brain, can their model really be accurate?

 

[gittyup]

I think they used spare parts from MIR!

bahahahha
Used Mir parts.
So it probably has a few leaks.

We Americans really make too much fun of them, they are smart.

If the Chinese make good computer parts and you don't make fun of them then why would you make fun of the Russians?
They have been building computer stuff far longer, had over 15 spacestations, ours reentered the atmosphere and desintigrated by acident.

 

[Adul]

I agree wit dually. I just want to see this thing in action. man this is freaky.

Interesting... thanks for the link.

Personally I dont think it is possible to develop an intelligence near to a human mind at this point in time. From what I understand, its not yet possible to make a hardware version that has nearly as much complexity (as many neurons) as the human brain. Even granted such a device, you still have the problem of appropriate input mechanisms. For example, visual recognition systems arent good enough yet to allow the computer to learn this way (I work in the field right now, so I know) and the same could probably be said for hearing, touch, etc.

Think of it like this. Imagine a human child born without hearing, eyesight, touch, taste, or smell. Furthermore, the kid cant move a muscle. Instead of these things, the child may have some sort of ability to sort out text files transmitted through a wire. How intelligent is the kid going to be? Would it develop the complexity of mind that a normal human would have? I think it would not. In the case of the russian's brain, we should liken it to a child who is severly mentally retarded. Not much to get too excited about. Yet...

Dually is right, the Russians certainly aren't stupid.

Actually, it's not so hard to create an artificial brain: the only thing you've to do is to create sufficient 'nerve cells' which will then form a brain all by their selves.

"This machine needs to be trained like a newborn child. It is extremely important for us to make it a friend, not a criminal or an enemy."

No. If you really have to worry about being nice to something you created (not including children!), then you should not have created it. Last thing we need is a terminator 2 when it blows the world up

That is freaky!

 

[Pastore]

What is an artificle?

Damn your fast.

 

No one ever said they were stupid, just poking fun at them.
We make fun of everyone equally.

 

[cjchaps]

I hope the Russians program in some saftey measures like Issac Asimov wrote about!

 

[LordMaul]

<Whiny voice> Mommie, can I have one tooooooooooooo? </whiny voice>

Damn, this is cool as helL!!! I want my own Frankenstein!!!

 

[DarkManX]

sooo is it IDE or SCSI?

 

[Czar]

This should be used as a test for parents. &quot;Nurture this jar with this electric brain and then you might be fit to be a parent&quot;.... well who knows, the future has lots of surprises

 

[thelanx]

Wow, freaky

 

[NikPreviousAcct]

<< sooo is it IDE or SCSI? >>

lol
