Computers Don’t Understand - John Searle Chinese Room Argument (1984)

The human mind is one of the most amazing instruments to ever arise in the universe. As a tool, it is unmatched. When humans are ruled by their minds, however, disaster often strikes.

Computer scientists are working on making a replicant of the human mind, at least in terms of its ability to take in information and establish connections. These replicants will surpass humans in processing time/power if they haven't already, which could benefit all of humanity or lead to its destruction. Like the human mind itself, it is all down to how AI is used.

One thing that AI will never do is experience no-mind. It is this capacity of humans that must guide humanity into the future, with regards to AI development, and everything else.

And...

What if AI is just another tool to manipulate the masses through fear, and to simultaneously provide cover for evil deeds?
