“How many other fields have been so uncertain – not only about whether their object of research is possible – but how to define it and how to recognize whether it’s achieved. The only other field that I can think of is religion. And for some researchers, it seems like A.I. is exactly that. Like religion, I kind of suspect the only thing that’s ever going to stop people from arguing is if somebody builds a definitive artificial intelligence. And like religious rapture, everyone always seems to think it’s about five to ten years off, but no one knows for sure how to get there.”- Stephen Eley
I doubt I am the one who is going to create the A.I. singularity, that point in time where computers are smarter than humans. I’m not even sure that it’s possible. I’m just interested in making fun or useful A.I. Like that in games – living worlds with intelligent NPC’s going about their business and savvy opponents that always give a challenge. That’s what I am after.
