    I do not think that even a human brain can emulate another human brain. I know I cannot experience someone else's 'self awareness'. It's not how I would approach machine intelligence. evolve->grow->nurture->hope it'll be friendly

        Yes, most of them are. One probably needs to be to ask such question. :)

          Are you self aware? OR is it just an illusion caused by all these signals wizzing around in that big chunk of meat in your skull? :P Is an ant self aware? A fish? A human?

          I think any living thing is self aware, i think anything with short term memory that can keep track of its actions or learn from them is aware of it's existence.

            Why are you convinced that people around you are self-aware ? Because you constantly Turing-test them for this feature, and they appear to behave as if they were self-aware. An accurate simulator will achieve that level of perfomance. The same holds for 'consciousness'.

            Well i think people are self aware as anything that possesses self monitoring and a short term memory, so in this case it's not the Turing test i'am using,it's an assumption, but that's a good insight you have there.

                Hey guys & ladies (to be gender insensitive), a theoretical thought, if a computer program simulates the human brain very accurately, does that make the program self - aware?

                Hi, BupeChombaDerrick. Great question and I have to add that I admire your insightful thinking. Since the human brain is self-aware and that particular computer program simulates it *very accurately*, then, of course, that computer program will be self-aware, too. So, the answer is yes. The computer program will be self-aware, have emotions, etc.

                    I think it is possible for the machine to "think" (if we consider "think" a process of reasoning). We already have that... But i don't see human kind creating a machine that can feel emotions in the foreseeable future. I think it would be extremely cruel of us to create such a "Frankenstein".

                    Yeah it can be cruel, but i'am sure our future generations can suppress those emotions in the machine and hence can be very helpful, like we are seeing with Apple's Siri.

                          Do you really think that replication algorithms in complex organic molecules and organisms are not computations, or that the chemical soup (called "liquor" in the sewer industry) does not retain memory? Intelligent life arose from just such a soup, and I suspect that you have far more to fear from the manholes on your street than the desktop in your office. ;)

                            What does that have to do with computers becoming self-aware? As I said before you cannot compare the two, a computer is nothing at all like a brain.

                            Yes for now one cannot compare the computer to the human brain, but in the future there will be need to do just that, especially when the Fifth generation computers fitted with sensory processing programs come into existence, anything with self monitoring capability and short term memory is self aware, so a program that can monitor and keep track (learn) of it's actions is self aware, so short term memory as something to do with self awareness, I respect your view on this matter, but my stance is that self aware is as a result of mere self monitoring and keeping a log of actions (learn) in a knowledge base. :)

                                        So do neurons in the brain use some form of quantum computations or they just fire action potentials to signal the presence of a particular feature in sensory stimuli? - that process of firing action potential makes us aware of ourselves and the environment. I don't see any quantum processes coming into play here.
