Hearing this, Marek smiled and reminded me that at this stage in the history of
AI, even an allegedly sophisticated robot is primarily a device that mimics other
things in such a way that it convinces you it is thinking for itself, yet it is not. It
is merely a unit processing binary numbers: ones and zeros, “yes” and “no”, one
or the other. But it is not thinking: it is reacting and calculating – but not
thinking. Nor is it feeling for that matter.
I agreed with Marek’s observations, and noted that, after losing to Deep Blue,
Garry Kasparov observed that, rather than being disappointed by the outcome,
he was more saddened by the fact that the poor machine had beaten the world’s
greatest chess player, yet hadn’t the faintest idea of what it was doing and didn’t
even know it had won.
Nor could it do what he, then world chess champion, would be doing later: Deep
Blue would never enjoy a nice meal, listen to the environment around it, laugh,
cry and reminisce, while at the same time remembering all the moves in the
game. Unlike him, it hadn’t lived every millisecond of that game.
As the situation stands, it seems that a human element will remain an essential
component in Mind Mapping for the foreseeable future. But if Mind Mapping
could be used in the practical development of AI – as a means to stretch it,
challenge it and grow it – imagine how wonderful that would be. And if Mind
Mapping can do that for AI, just imagine in what amazing ways it could help
you improve your own life. As a human being, you are a super biocomputer and
your potential is incredible.
