Will Coding Be Required In The Future? - Page 3

Depends on how you handle it. All computers have firmware at their heart. Mostly it handles the way core processes are handled, and allows the operating system to load up.

Setting things up so that the firmware cannot be altered by the OS without outside help is simple (In fact until recently that's how normally is). Setting it up so that the firmware imposes certain limitations on our theoretical AI is less simple, but doable.

Of course with that in mind, if we ever get to the point that the AI can be considered sapient, this would be the digital equivalent of shoving mind control chips into a human's brain. Not exactly an ethical idea, even if there is good reason for it.

Future The Required Coding Will

Daishain,

I see your point. To me, I think AI is one very small step from sapient. Once something is intelligent it will start to think… I think. Then it will be sapient or perhaps sentient. Once that happens, then anything could happen.

Common misconception. Nearly every advanced critter on earth is sentient, which simply refers to the ability to experience sensations.

Partly because the media keeps screwing up the usage of that word, people commonly use the word Sentient in place of Sapient.

Got it and I was under the same misconception. But I guess as a sapient being I can be schooled *smile* I just hope the sapient AI of the future can be too!

I [don't know] about required but it's a possibility. They come out with something new everyday so it wouldn't be too [surprising].
