“We have enough human brains, I have no interest in replicating the human brain.”
-Daniel Barry

What is the appeal of building an artificial brain? For some individuals, an artificial brain represents a chance to fully understand one’s own nature. For others, the artificial mind represents self-improvement, an opportunity to make their human brain faster, smarter, less forgetful, geared towards long-term thinking. Longevity-minded individuals find the allure of artificial intelligence to be linked to the promise of a brain that can transcend the fragile mortality found in the biological models. Optimists pitch artificial intelligence to the world as our ultimate servant, the benevolent, rational being that only wants to help. Anxious visionaries warn that it could be an enslaver, a humanity killer, an existential risk.

Engineer and Former Astronaut Dan Barry has a perspective on artificial minds that does not have the ring of a rapture or armageddon, but is in its own way, otherworldly.
