Feb 22, 2018 Everyone is worried about robots stealing manufacturing jobs, but the real value (and threat) in robots may lie in whether they can become smart enough to actually think on their own. One of the major milestones in creating human level intelligence is for machines to attain self-awareness. And Columbia University's Creative Machines Lab may have already done it. “These robots learn overtime, to stimulate themselves in a future situation they haven’t actually experienced.” said Dr. Hod Lipson, the mechanical engineering professor leading the lab's push to create self-aware robots. "In other words, they don't have to learn by doing," Lipson told VICE News. "They can learn by thinking." The robotics department at UC Berkley has made similar advancements with their self-teaching robot BRETT. Using trial and error, BRETT can learn how to fold laundry, assemble LEGO blocks and fit pegs into a hole. [ link to news.vice.com (secure)] This is not consciousness, this is an algorithm that maps it's surroundings, to say it just "learns by thinking" is sensationalism pure and simple. It learns but processing code that allows it to maps it's context and then based on that context, make better decisions on how to proceed with it's instructions. Don't get me wrong, this is an amazing piece of work but it's not consciousness/self awareness as we think of it.
that is pretty much it.
