Machine Consciousness (Paperback)

From the toaster that burns our breakfast to the video recorder that wipes out our favourite movie, we've all had that feeling that a machine is out to get us. So can a machine really be conscious? Can it feel feelings? Well even the humble thermostat knows when it gets too hot - and it can do something about it too. But can a machine think thoughts? When IBM's super-fast computer Deep Blue can beat the world champion at chess, it makes you hesitate. Does it have a personality? How would you know? In this collection of essays we hear from an international array of computer scientists and brain scientists who are actively working from both the machine and human ends of things to bridge the gap between the mind and the machine.
