Dr. Dobb's | Consciousness is not a Window

Consciousness is not a Window

I've been reading The Media Lab: Inventing the Future at M.I.T., by Stewart Brand. It includes conversations with Marvin Minsky, one of the founders of Artificial Intelligence. And Minsky has staggering ideas. "Imagine," he commands, "what it would be like if TV actually were good. It would be the end of everything we know." I want to show you his ideas about consciousness and the evolution of AI, in this discussion with Brand.
