When we create a system that can process as much information (sights, sounds, touch etc) as quickly as a human, will it just 'be' intelligent? Will it need an aim?
Will it be self aware, conscious?
Are we really conscious, are animals or even plants?
Or is the fact that we feel self aware just an instinct that perhaps humans have elaborated more than other beings?

This. I was getting really excited about AI in the pub once and a mate just said that we don't understand our own minds, so how can we create another?
Sometimes I think of it as a simple input/output/computation problem though. When we create a system that can process as much information (sights, sounds, touch etc) as quickly as a human, will it just 'be' intelligent? Will it need an aim? The atari example gives the algorithm rewards with the in-game points. Scary to imagine more sophisticated bots could have rewards for much more sinister things. Without an aim, will it just try things at random (like a baby)? A robot with the power of a human but the whims of an infant is scary too.
Have done, can confirm I haven't achieved world domination.
