Ten years away from an artificial brain hey? It started me wondering about whether it would be hooked up to anything external or would it be just "thinking" in the void. If it was to the standard of a human brain then surely deprivation of senses and the ability to manipulate its environment would be against its "human" rights. But if we did hook it up to the world and it went wrong and began a rampage of genocidal proportions would it have to have a trial or could we just turn it off? All these questions are far too difficult for me to answer. Of course it might just develop undesirable character flaws - Uncorrected Personality Traits maybe.
A friend of ours phoned up from Rome yesterday and while she was on her son fell in the Trevi Fountain - check his pockets I say! Teenagers hey!
