X-Message-Number: 12664 Date: Thu, 28 Oct 1999 17:56:18 -0400 From: Daniel Crevier <> Subject: Strong AI manifesto References: <> Since the subject of feeling and consciousness in machines keeps recurring in this forum, it might be a proper place to ask a question that's been nagging me for a while. The pros and cons of artificial consciousness have been dis- cussed at length in book form by the Dennetts, Churchlands and Dreyfuses of the world. Yet, I still have to see a clear and concise list of the arguments in favor of that position (which I support, by the way). It would be a document at most a few pages long, a kind of "strong AI manifesto". Has anyone ever come across something like that?
