The Meaning Of Artificial Life |
A fascinating discussion has taken hold among Robot readers, writers, and editors. Beginning in the July/August issue, continuing with emails and the article “Intelligent Machines – Plausible or Fantasy?” in the November/December issue, a significant and growing train of thought emerges. Where does software end and biology begin? What is the difference between a “grown” machine and a “natural” one? Can Mary Shelley’s character, Dr. Frankenstein, ever emerge in reality by creating artificial life? Robot continues pursuing this topic by interviewing two prominent authorities in the field of computer science and human thought processes. |
