15 Introduction Artificial Intelligence is the science of making machines do things that would require intelligence if done by men. Marvin Minsky, founder of the MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratoryl Not long ago I watched a TV interview with Edward Fredkin, a specialist in electronic engineering and manager of the MIT Artificial Intelligence Laboratory. Fredkin is an earnest man with a serious, authoritative manner. What he had to say was startling. 2 There are three great events in history. One, the creation of the universe. Two, the appearance of life. The third one, which I think is equal in importance, is the appearance of artificial intelligence. This is a form of life that is very different, and that has possibilities for intellectual achievement that are hard for us to imagine. These machines will evolve: some intelligent computers will design others, and they'll get to be smarter and smarter. The question is, where will that leave us? It is fairly difficult to imagine how you can have a machine that's millions of times smarter than the smartest person and yet is really our slave, doing what we want. They may condescend to talk to us, they may play games that we like to play, and in some sense, they might keep us as pets. 3 Has Professor Fredkin missed his vocation as a science fiction writer? Or is this a realistic view of the future, a sober prediction from a man who is better placed than most to understand the implications of current developments in AI research? Are computers that think really a technological possibility? Indeed, does it even make sense to speak of a machine thinking - or is a thinking computer a conceptual absurdity, like a grinning electron or a married bachelor? For the philosophically curious, Fredkin's words raise a tumult of intriguing questions. Is thought a biological phenomenon, and thus as far beyond the compass of a silicon-and-metal machine as photosynthesis, lactation, and every other biology-dependent process? Or are thinking and perceiving more like flying - something that both living creatures and metallic artefacts can do?
