[edit] Computer implementation of brain
A few points worth adding
(1) The parralel vs speed issue is a red herring, because computers can be designed to operate in parallel, in the same way as the brain. Given a sufficiently large number of transistors, one could create a simulation of a brain which simulated all neurons in parallel, and operated incredibly fast compared to a human brain. (The number of transistors would be vast, however).
(2) If one accepts that it is possible to simulate the operation of a single human cell to a high degree of accuracy, then one is forced to accept that it is possible in principle to create a strong AI via simulation of a human from conception, at a cellular level.
(3) Though the computing power required for such a simulation would be huge, it is likely that a highly detailed model may not be required, and it would need to be done only once, since the resulting artificial person could be copied/probed/optimized as required. This makes the possibility somewhat more feasible. It might take a million processor supercomputer 20 years to generate a simulated brain, but it might then be possible to reduce the complexity required by a factor of a million.
(4) Using a distributed.net/SETI@home style architechture, a million CPU grid supercomputer isn't as unlikely as it might seem.

[edit] Including "Artificial Intelligence System"
I recommend the project Artificial Intelligence System be mentioned under 2.3 (Simulated Human Brain Model). Blue Brain is mentioned instead, but I believe this project is more directed toward a Strong AI outcome and better suited for this article. CarsynG1979 (talk) 21:45, 10 March 2008 (UTC)CarsynG1979
- I've been thinking about collecting all this material into the article artificial brain (see my notes on Talk:Artificial brain), and shortening the section in this article to two or three paragraphs that just mention the names of the projects underway and focus on making it very clear what this means to strong AI specifically. ---- CharlesGillingham (talk) 18:39, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Incorrect Reference:
Haikonen (2004) does not link to a valid reference. Is this the same as the Haikonen (2003) above? HatlessAtless (talk) 15:41, 30 April 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Archive
I have archived all the comments that refer to parts of the article that no longer exist. ---- CharlesGillingham (talk) 02:01, 17 May 2008 (UTC)
[edit] Intelligence is not, does not require "seeing".
Under the requirements of Strong AI, there is listed:
"perceive, and especially see;",
but many intelligent people are visually impaired or blind. This requirement must be wrong, no?
