Google's Page urges scientists to market themselves





The programming language of humans, if you will, would include the workings of your brain, said Page, who offered his hypothesis Friday night during a plenary lecture here at the annual American Association for the Advancement of Science conference. His guess, he said, was that the brain's algorithms weren't all that complicated and could be approximated, eventually, with a lot of computational power.

"We have some people at Google (who) are really trying to build artificial intelligence and to do it on a large scale," Page said to a packed Hilton ballroom of scientists. "It's not as far off as people think."

Not as long as you continue to subscribe to the mind-brain misidentification fallacy, as evidenced by this article.

Google seems poised to create a *functional* AI. I don't think it will be self-aware, nor do I think that's the intention.
