Preface
In the middle of the last century,
the founders of computer science
considered the possibility that digital machines might someday act and react
like human beings. Scientists, psychologists, and science-fiction writers
pondered how a machine might think like a human, how it might form
conversation like a human, and how it might attempt to comprehend human
emotions. Yet the many complexities of human behavior seemed
intangible, and making a counterpart machine appeared nearly impossible.
Where would programmers begin construction? When would construction
end? How would the program behave? In forming conversation, how
would it ask questions or make comments in a way that might interest
humans? Could it have such a deep understanding of both humans and
itself that it would grow and learn indefinitely? Can machines think? The
Turing Test is considered the high water mark of such a program. The test
consists of an interrogator who communicates blindly with a human and an
Artificial Intelligence. If the interrogator cannot make a distinction
between
the computer and the human, then the Artificial Intelligence can be
considered universal.
The following design is
universal. It will pass this test.
All the current endeavors in
Artificial Intelligence research have
employed different techniques for recognizing the human vocabulary.
These programs sort through many case studies using many different
information-handling functions to produce a response for a given situation.
These approaches may lead us to a universal machine; however, these
methods are ambiguous and universality is uncertain. An unambiguous
design could achieve universality; yet an unambiguous design requires a
conclusive understanding of the parameters of the human conscience.
The following design is
universal. These parameters are on page 12.
The program presented here is
conclusive. This design will produce a
correct response in every single instance, of every conceivable human
interaction. The beginning functions of the program are described in detail.
The intermediate construction consists of an in-depth learning of human
behavior. Then this design brings us to the end of program construction,
when the first Universal Artificial Intelligence Software Program is
completed.
The following design is
universal. This program can be constructed from start
to finish.
