Me sorprendió leer esta entrevista a Stanley Kubrick en 1968 y leer una frase que aún ahora puede ser vista como provocadora ¿máquinas conscientes? ¿silicon-based-emotions?
"In the specific case of HAL, he had an acute emotional crisis because he could not accept evidence of his own fallibility. The idea of neurotic computers is not uncommon -- most advanced computer theorists believe that once you have a computer which is more intelligent than man and capable of learning by experience, it's inevitable that it will develop an equivalent range of emotional reactions -- fear, love, hate, envy, etc. Such a machine could eventually become as incomprehensible as a human being, and could, of course, have a nervous breakdown -- as HAL did in the film."
