A neuroscientist explains why artificially intelligent robots will never have consciousness like humans
Some of today’s top techies and scientists are very publicly expressing their concerns over apocalyptic scenarios that are likely to arise as a result of machines with motives. Among the fearful are intellectual heavyweights like Stephen Hawking, Elon Musk, and Bill Gates, who all believe that advances in the field of machine learning will soon yield self-aware A.I.s that seek to destroy us—or perhaps just dispose of us, much like scum getting obliterated by a windshield wiper.

This was a good read and for me at least,it makes sense.

The Chinese Room only demonstrates that a program in itself is not sufficient to make something sentient, not that it is impossible to make sentient AI. It is fairly obvious that sentient creatures evolved from nonsentient ones at some point in our planet's history. For us to emulate this evolution and move from deep learning to strong AI is simply a matter of improving our understanding of neurocognition. Saying that we will never understand the brain well enough to reproduce this naturally occurring transition to sentience is as short-sighted as saying that man will never fly.
