Professor Kevin Warwick lecture


Professor Kevin Warwick of Reading University
lecture at University of Westminster,
Harrow Campus, HA1 3TP
Monday 17 October 2005, 6.00pm -

Known as Captain Cyborg to the Media, described by Gillian Anderson of X- Files as the "leading prophet of the Robot Age", in his last cyborg experiment Professor Warwick accomplished neural system to neural system communication with his wife, in addition to manipulating external objects over the internet via neural signals alone.

Professor Warwick is the new breed of Fusion AI scientists - man and machine fuse and become cyborgs, an area of Artificial Intelligence that lies between the proponents of STRONG AI (robots inherit the earth, humans become extinct) and WEAK AI (robots will only ever be tools for human use)."

I'm sorry you had to back out of the debate. It would have been nice if you could define what "neural system to neural system communication" means according to your view.

Looks like we're debating over semantics now. Peace.

You're repeating/exposing your ignorance.

You are unacquanted with Kevin Warwick's neural-system to neural-system experiment hence your argument, that animals have that particular communicative media, is null and void; unless by "non-humans" you now mean automata.

Anyway, I have neither the time nor the inclination to continue this debate here further, pray continue with yourself by all means!

Even non-humans have it. In fact one of the reasons neural systems evolved is for communication (linguistic and non-linguistic).

I'll have to read up on Warwick...

Not in the sense of Professor Warwick's cyborg 2.00 experiment.

And in the sense you claim for animals, humans have that ability (i.e. sensing what another is thinking within a contextual situation, not necessarily knowing exactly)

Any communication between animals is neural system to neural system.

No, I know what it means.. it was a rhetorical question.

If you don't know what neural system to neural system communication is, then how can you question whether animals have been doing it!

I suggest you read Professor Warwick's I, Cyborg, if you're interested.

What does neural system to neural system communication mean? Isn't that what animals have been doing for millions of years already?
