I mean like, the computer, not it taking over everyone with a Redstone chip, spoiler alert for those who haven't played it yet. | |

How small can we make it, in the limit? How fast can we make it, in the limit? How soon can we get there? First write your software (!). Then write a virus that takes over the whole internet. You would probably have enough computing power right there but it would soon be shut down. What would be the electric bill? Almost zero for you if you did the above. The world-wide bill would be exactly the same as it is now, but you wouldn't be paying it. Moving on ... **How small can | |

| Feb 17, 2015 at 5:05 | comment | added | abcdefg | I have to agree with @TimB here. We cannot reach "true" artificial intelligence until we understand what intelligence and consciousness actually is. Pretending to be intelligent is different from being intelligent. | |
| Feb 10, 2015 at 17:06 | comment | added | trichoplax is on Codidact now | Let's refer to a human intelligence as Natural Intelligence (NI) in contrast with Artificial Intelligence (AI). I understand this question to be asking the minimum requirements for a human-speed machine-hosted NI. | |
| Feb 9, 2015 at 17:25 | comment | added | Mithoron | I think that too - trying to simulate living, fully active brain would be incredibly tough - its input, output a chemistry would need to be simulated - maybe doable in 100 years. | |

| Feb 9, 2015 at 9:52 | comment | added | Tim B | @SerbanTanasa My point is that "true" artificial intelligence will almost certainly not come from simulating a human brain. Simulating a human brain would be useful for all sorts of things, but it's unlikely to be an efficient way to create AI. | |
| Feb 9, 2015 at 0:02 | comment | added | user3652621 | @KSmarts I'm mostly concerned with the hardware. The turing test bit is simply there to limit the range of acceptable answers. While it is perhaps a weak test, I don't know of a better designed one. | |
| Feb 8, 2015 at 23:01 | comment | added | KSmarts | I don't think "pass the Turing Test" is all that strong of a requirement. Debates about the proper standard and administration of the test notwithstanding, the Turing Test has already been passed, without using supercomputers. | |
| Feb 8, 2015 at 22:43 | comment | added | user3652621 | @TimB Well, that would in part depend on the speed of the sim. A version of human-like sim running at 10e6 speed would effectively be a superhuman ai, despite having no subjective superhuman abilities. There are other AI versions of course. | |
| Feb 8, 2015 at 22:42 | comment | added | Tim B | Hmm, the use of "simulate the human brain" doesn't feel like it addresses the singularity really. A related question "provide true Artificial Intelligence" would be better. | |

| Feb 8, 2015 at 20:38 | comment | added | PipperChip | Need the computer in question be of the type we currently have? That is, must their underlying logic be boolean, and be constructed like most people's computers? | |
| Feb 8, 2015 at 20:05 | comment | added | user3652621 | Any voters are invited to and welcome to leave comments! Happy to refine the question if needed. | |
