PROGRAMMING : Do robots have to be concious?
I just started reading another article which talks about robots taking over the world, and one of it's concerns is that robots are a long way from being concious - a requirement that the author thinks is necesarry for them to take over.
Let me say this once, and loud
Robots don't need to be concious to dominate the world. A virus isn't even as sophisticated as a cell, yet it can kill you. Insects represent the second(?) largest biomass on the planet, yet their brains are tiny - certainly not concious.
Robots don't need to be concious to dominate the world. To dominate all they need to do is 'discover' a way to reproduce that requires no human intervention, and then do precisely that. If we notice in time that this is happening we might try to stop it, but the robots will probably be able to adapt to this a lot quicker than us.
So don't worry too much, either it will happen or it won't, there's not a lot we can do :)
