AI (Artificial Intelligence)

[Shawnna]

I think the use of the term "artificial intelligence" is misleading. It gives the idea that intelligence itself can be artificially constructed, whereas I think this would be more of a case of creating a conduit through which intelligence is able to express itself. The intelligence wouldn't be artificial, just the medium through which it is expressed.

When a couple has a child, did they create that child's intelligence?

In thinking more about this, I've been wondering whether our concern is really about artificial intelligence.  

It seems to me there's a huge difference between intelligence and consciousness; with our real concern more likely being the idea that humans can/will create consciousness in machines.

Or maybe I've just had one beer too many.
