Super Intelligent Machines.

I watched a Horizon documentary some time ago concerning the building of an Artilect (Artificial intellect, i.e. Super Intelligent Machine).
The Artilect in the Horizon programme was being based on the way the human brain works, but with the potential of being up to a trillion times more intelligent with the addition of computer programming. Could this artilect possibly retain the defence mechanism of a human brain without anyone realising it?
 
At one point in the programme an experiment was shown in which a monkey was physically moving a control stick with its hand and also had electrodes & wires attached from its head to the same control stick. The monkey then released its grip on the control stick and was able to manipulate the control stick just by thinking about it, i.e. electrical impulses from the monkey's brain were being transmitted down the wires to the control stick (or so we were told).

If a monkey could do that, then is it possible that electrical impulses (such as radio waves) could be emitted from a super intelligent machine to control the electrical impulses in the human brain in order to manipulate humans? Would we humans be able to comprehend how ingenious such a machine could be?

Once a super intelligent machine was switched on, humans might never again be in control of their own minds to be able to switch it off.
 
Please discuss.

Perhaps this is a good reason for humans to put more effort into keeping their minds strong and protected from machine invasion.
 
Some define human beings as having free will and freedom of choice.  Removing that part of the definition for humans, can create a need for another definition, such as BORG.
 
Their must be some sort of protective fabric that humans can wear, and exercises,  to help protect their brains from becoming invaded by artilects.

 I always wonder how a programmer can write a  program (that is "programme" with an American accent) that is based on how the brain works when the best neural scientists have very little knowledge of how the brain and the mind actually work. (Although we remember pictures, sounds, events, and can add/subtract/divide/ and such, no scientist has ever been able to find the brain equivalent of even an MP3, JPG, or a calculator.)
 
Our 'bots also have the potential (and 'potential is the limiting word) to be a trillion times more intelligent than a human. And that would mean programming into a 'bot enough common sense to "get out of the rain." Dr. Wallace has the right approach. 
 
 As for computers controlling human bodies with electricity, that is already being done on an experimental basis for spinal injury patients. http://www.eetimes.com/news/latest/showArticle.jhtml?articleID=201806940
 
 
Still we are long ways away from a Star Trek Borg.

What concerns me is the human side of it, if a monkey could operate a device as you describe, then perhaps it wouldnt be such a big leap for paralyized humans to become independant yet again? (yes, off topic, but i'm a transhumanist :P)
 
Going back on topic (sort of) I wonder who came up with the name Artilect?

The thing is that humans in general are not that smart, so it is very conceivable to achieve a higher intelligence artificially.  The problem I face with todays artificial intelligence bots such as "Alice" is that they seem to mimic the puppet and the master model.  Where the bot master is the master and the bot the puppet.

Well yes, AIML is highly structured, it provides good control.   Other
AI engines such a Jabberwacky use a 'free association' model based on
context analysis.   In this case care and much effort go into providing
background contextual information to set up good associations.  This is
'bleeding edge' AI.  Results can be extraordinary and very
unpredictable.   Here consistency is difficult to achieve.   The work is
like teaching a little kid with a short attention span than programming.
I get the impression that the AI algorithms may be good enough; it is
the data base design and content quality that hold results down.   To be
clear, resent contest results show that the top 5 AI bots / engines are
very close in performance.

We are about to introduce publically a national web site.  We have a
national SEO company to drive traffic. I feel this would offer a wonderful
opportunity for demoing an AI bot capable of responding to Social Security
query's.  Our "in progress" web site is www.americaretoday.com/index.php.
Please advise as to interest.

Regards

Jim Gries
CEO

Well yes, AIML is highly structured, it provides good control.   Other
AI engines such a Jabberwacky use a 'free association' model based on
context analysis.   In this case care and much effort go into providing
background contextual information to set up good associations.  This is
'bleeding edge' AI.  Results can be extraordinary and very
unpredictable.   Here consistency is difficult to achieve.   The work is
like teaching a little kid with a short attention span than programming.
I get the impression that the AI algorithms may be good enough; it is
the data base design and content quality that hold results down.   To be
clear, resent contest results show that the top 5 AI bots / engines are
very close in performance.

The thing is that humans in general are not that smart, so it is very
conceivable to achieve a higher intelligence artificially.  The problem
I face with todays artificial intelligence bots such as "Alice" is that
they seem to mimic the puppet and the master model.  Where the bot
master is the master and the bot the puppet.
