Beyond Zero and One (Andrew Smart) / quote 120 of 171
Must machines acquire subjectivity?
believe that the objective mind-independent world does exist. First-person conscious experience is intrinsically subjective, relative and uncertain. How can the field of artificial intelligence use the objective, third-person, logical methods of computer science to create a relativistic, vague, and subjective artificial mind? Does an artificial intelligence system have to acquire subjectivity on its way toward superintelligence? Does the fact that we experience the world from a specific point of view enable human intelligence? Do machines need to have subjective and relativistic points of view in order to achieve human-level intelligence?
