Google working on Artificial Intelligence

Google co-founder Larry Page has a theory: your DNA is about 600 megabytes compressed, making it smaller than any modern operating system like Linux or Windows.

The programming language of humans, if you will, would include the workings of your brain, said Page, who offered his hypothesis Friday night during a plenary lecture here at the annual American Association for the Advancement of Science conference. His guess, he said, was that the brain's algorithms weren't all that complicated and could be approximated, eventually, with a lot of computational power.

"We have some people at Google (who) are really trying to build artificial intelligence and to do it on a large scale," Page said to a packed Hilton ballroom of scientists. "It's not as far off as people think."

Google has resources, they can do it. If I myself have such resources, why not. Its just a matter of imitating life. Complex algorithms can always be conquered.

There will be good and bad side with AI, just like all the other inventions of the past. I hope the "Do no evil" motto will prevail. And Google shares the knowledge just like what the founders and pioneers of computers and Internet did and what the inventors of the industrial revolution did before them.

Creating AI running on digital computers, will depend on the invention of new digital algorithms - contrary to what Page have said.
Creating AI running on analog computers, will depend on creation of appropriate analog computers.
