Presentation I had to make for University. Uses basic enough language that could be used for key stage 4 students. I did not make this alone, I also had help from a fellow class mate

2.  An explanation of someone's thought process
about how something works in the real world
 Computers/Robots – Just tools
 Useful, but can only perform tasks for which
they were programmed
 Computers were widely called “electronic-
brains” for their ability to process information

3.  It would be better for the child if it was
conscious as:
◦ It would suit the needs of children
◦ It would be able to answer a complex question that
a child may have which a programmer may not have
foreseen.

4.  AI may have solved a game of checkers but this is
a far cry from being able to simulate
consciousness
 Today‟s computers are not even close enough to a
4-year-old human in their ability to see, talk,
move or use common sense
 The information processing capacity of even the
most powerful supercomputer is equal to the
nervous system of a snail

5.  A computer can remember a 30 figure number
with ease compared to a human
 A computer will not be able to give a summary
after reading „Little Red Riding Hood‟

6.  Consciousness is a mix between itself and the
subconscious
 For a computer to walk forward, it must
consider everything in its knowledge
 Everything on the processor must be
considered, that means no subconscious, so
it is truly conscious?
