Saw an interesting story on tv tonight.A professor Alfred Brooks,an ep-pat aussie working in the US has created a robot that can genuinely learn. In fact some of the scientists get so scared of the speed it learns at they turn it off.It didn't say whether the learning process was accumulative or how it happened.Myself I find it both scary but also exciting.Anyway the point is how long before we have a HAL amongst us.Yes I know that some chess programmes learn but not in the way the robot Brooks has invented does. Stephen King is so impressed he's planning to construct a movie on the inventure.Just thought I throw this news in for a bit of discussion. Cheers Al Oh by the way does anyone know about Richard Harris's Awakening tapes?
