The plans of some scientists look as if taken from the pages science fiction novel. What one is working on right now Dutch neuroengineer, can give people immortality.
The inventor spoke about plans to create a system that allows load his brain into a computer. He hopes he can replicate the human brain into a mechanical system.
Randall Kune says the key to this is the so-called Substrate-Independent Mind (SIM). By he said an artificially created accurate model of human brain emulating its computational activity can give people endless life.
When I talk about emulation, you should understand this as, for example, emulating Macintosh on a PC. It’s kind of platform independent code. It can realize substrate-independent mind, said Kune at a recent conference in San Francisco.
According to Kune, this is not just artificial intelligence, but human mind entered in the computer. He says that neurologists are 99.9 percent confident that the brain represents is a computational mechanism, and if you find out the principle of its work, then you can create a replacement for him.
The idea of partial copying of the brain is gaining momentum. Why not do the same with the whole brain? Loading the brain into computer, we can process and store even more information like a car, arranging thoughts into folders and addressing them in any time, ”said Kune in an interview with Vice magazine.
Kune believes that such a system will give people the opportunity to live in other worlds, including virtual ones. To implement such an ambitious project he created carboncopies.org, studying the possibility of human existence mind on an alternative medium.
