The Quest for Artificial Intelligence
Jean E. Tardy is a Systems Analyst and expert in Artificial Intelligence. Following a rigorous top-down process, Jean developed a detailed System Architecture to implement Synthetic Consciousness in autonomous agents. "The Creation of a Conscious Machine" completed the first stage of this process. It surveys past attempts at achieving AI, including the Turing Test, and specifies the design choices and implementation strategies that must be followed to successfully build machines that are conscious.
