DARTMOUTH, Canada (MMD Newswire) October 24, 2011 -- "The Creation of a Conscious Machine: Specifications of a Conscious Artifact" (ISBN 2981218417) by J. E. Tardy rejects the prevailing assumptions guiding artificial intelligence (AI) research in favor of an original approach that defines "consciousness" in terms of machine-achievable specifications.
According to Tardy, the desire to build a conscious machine lies at the heart of the human quest for knowledge. However, he argues that AI research has stalled because problematic definitions of consciousness - perceptions rooted in philosophy, neurology and psychology. With this in mind, Tardy offers a radically different approach to AI development that defines "consciousness" as clear and achievable specifications that are applicable to any system, human or mechanical. Tardy contends that this method opens the door to the implementation of conscious machines and holds the potential to shed new light on human consciousness and on its links to our conditions of existence.
"It is possible with today's technology to build a conscious machine," Tardy says. "My book is an original and deep investigation into the nature of consciousness that provides new insights in human consciousness and an understanding of consciousness that is clearly suitable for machine implementation."
Intended to educate and challenge readers to reconsider their views of consciousness and the potential for achievable AI creations, the book was inspired by Tardy's desire to re-frame the AI debate and advance efforts to build a conscious machine.
