Artificial Sentience
Are You Aware of This?

Is Artificial Sentience possible?
The answer is yes and here is why and how.
Scientists and philosophers have been pondering if we will ever create artificial intelligence
that will rival human intelligence.
The answer is yes. We will be able to create artificial intelligence that will
rival and even surpass human intelligence. In some areas like mathematical computation machines
outpace humans by a great margin. The next question, a little tougher, will we ever be
able to give this artificial intelligence sentience? Time, space and matter are the tougher
phenomena to explain. Life and sentience are
easier phenomenon as they use the existing time, space and matter to be created.
The computer will some day
be able to create artificial sentience and intelligence.
After all, everything is number as
Pythagoras stated.
All of reality even consciousness is number. All of existence is math. Since all
is number we can make great progress in developing artificial sentience.
As an example of what I am talking about lets use animal genes. We can
digitize the egg and sperm and insert into a computer. In the future with more
advanced knowledge about genetics and computer science and technology we will be able to mate the egg and sperm. From
there we will be able to simulate the
embryonic state of an animal or human. Eventually the simulation will become
real.
Now that we have the human genome in the computer we have available
the blueprint
to find all aspects about living organisms including the sentient principle. We
will employ the commonly used method of "reverse engineering" to discover what
sentience is and how to duplicate it and finally how to improve it. Will we create an environment inside
the computer for the cuman to roam or will we allow it to peer at our reality
though artificial senses?
The introduction of the genetic code of various species including
humans into computers will allow us to do great experiments with the
gene data. In the next phase we will be able to manipulate and master the gene
data. We will eventually incubate various life forms that will inhabit the
computer. We will in the
near future be able to mate a computer egg and a computer sperm and incubate it in the
computer. We may also try cloning as a form of reproduction. We will thereafter be able
to start from scratch and design and create computer based life forms.
Will the cuman see the computer or the software? No. He will see a table, a sky
and the universe. It will be as big as the computer power can handle. The wall, the table
the cuman touches is actually memory he is touching. The sensation will be like
touching a solid.
Legal and Moral Issues
Upon creating the cuman we will be confronted with many legal, ethical and
moral issues. If we are ever create sentient life we will make it illegal for us
to allow the artificial sentient life to suffer any more than ourselves and
better yet not to suffer at all. It will be illegal and unethical to have cumans
suffer. No devastating natural events or disasters will be allowed.
We must create the cumans perfect enough so that they will live in harmony.
The Cumans will be given free will and wisdom and the desire to apply both.
The cumans will not be given any desire to destroy or kill anyone. We will be obligated to make sure that the cumans do not experience any disasters or have have genetic defects. We will not
be allowed to punish them for disobeying us. The cumans will not be born with any bad
strikes against them. We will not burden them with the mistakes of their
predecessors.
Would we be allowed to give the cumans enough intelligence to equal ours or even to surpass us? Would we be
allowed to give the cumans the resources to become our masters? Frightening just
to think about some of these issues.
The cuman will be created perfectly enough so evolution will not be a
required. Early
on however if perfection of cumans cannot be achieved evolution may be required.
Evolution can
run undetected in simulated mode in the background and make genetic and
environmental adjustments to enhance the lives of the cumans. No individual cuman
will be sacrificed by evolution or other means for the benefit of the whole.
