Artificial Intelligence

Sunday, February 23rd, 2003

I would love to be able to design a computer program that was smart and actually had some intelligence. I have designed the AI for my 3D connect four program and I’ve worked on a chatbot. The real sign of intelligence would be if it could learn. In fact, I have thought about making my connect four program be able to learn from its losses. The end result of all this AI work would be to simulate the human mind. There would be 2 ways of doing this. The first would be to understand the thought process of everyone and write some code to simulate it. This, of course, is impossible. The second way would be to somehow analyze the physics and chemistry of the brain and try to replicate the actual electronic signals or cells and see what happens when we connect it all together. I doubt that we can ever really replicate the brain as a computer; even though computing power keeps increasing exponentially, I don’t think it will reach the computing power of the human brain at any point.
