I think that a combination approach (top-down and bottum-up) is going to be the fastest route to whole brain emulation. It sounds like that is sort of what this guy is trying to do.

or at least until the power runs out or the universe goes cold. We will all face the reaper eventually. Even if we're digital...Originally Posted by Guisslapp
Not to mention accidental electrical surges that alters memory and personality.

So it would seem.
Also, it is possible that in transcending biology we would quickly lose the desire to "live."

It would be a few thousand years before I did that. I bask in learning and teaching! Just wish my memory was better and especially not so selective.

Don't you mean taxes from the governmet?
Sounds like 2001: A Space Odyssey by Arthur Clarke. That pesky biology makes immortality difficult. We've done a pretty good job artificially simulating all of the other organs. The brain will definitely be a challenge.

Difference betwen real-life and movies is the computers are vulnerable and just as flawed as humans. Not even they (AI) will be perfect.
Humans act just the same way as the big bad machines.
By what standard do you measure perfection?
The thing about AI is that it has greater potential than human intelligence.

The difference between those and 2001 is that 2001 (in the book) it was discussed that replacing biological life with nonbiological life was simply another step in the evolution of intellegent life.
2001 is one of the many works of fiction that touch on this subject.
