The Last Natural Brain 2017-03-21 .txt text/plain 5474 317 64 Scientists working in this space of artificial intelligence now realize that storing memory as varying threads of information, rather than as binary digits is the key to making computers 'more human. However, there exist some significant hurdles -when it comes to memory, speed alone isn't the problem -artificial intelligence (AI) will need to come up with new ways to match the 2C's of brain function -complexity and consciousness. In his book, The Singularity Is Near: When Humans Transcend Biology (Viking Press, 2005) Kurzweil creates a vision of intelligent nano-robots integrated into our bodies, our brains, and our environment, with a capability to eradicate pollution and poverty, offering the new artificial man extended longevity, while enjoying the sensory stimulation of a full-immersion virtual reality (think movies like "The Matrix" or "Being John Malkovich"). "Technologically, in terms of computers and techniques to acquire data, it will be possible to build a model of the human brain within 10 years," Markram has been quoted saying. ./cache/cord-018613-83r6lhpo.txt ./txt/cord-018613-83r6lhpo.txt
