The AI can reach consciousness faster than we think.

French philosopher René Descartes once said: "Cogito Ergo Sum", I think therefore I am. That means that the AI that thinks realizes its existence and reaches consciousness. The AI doesn't think. It just collects data from different sources like sensors and memories. This is the thing. That we call the difference between humans and  AI. 

But then we can ask how the AI way of collecting and handling data differs from the human process that we call thinking. 

The human can think abstractions. But in the same way, AI can put focus into the operations. 

Then the AI can make the simulations about the requirements. That the system needs to complete the mission. 

The Guardian magazine describes artificial intelligence as computer systems that perform tasks that usually require human intelligence. Then we can say that no human can do everything in this world. So, when we think that the AI learns things by connecting new modules to it. 

That means the AI learns and applies new things faster than humans. The main question is this: can the AI generate new modules for it? If it can make that t thing, it becomes more intelligent than humans. 

AI is the thing of this year. And it will be a bigger thing. In the next year. But can the AI reach consciousness? That causes discussions. The development of computer hardware is faster than nobody expected and new and faster microchips can cause surprises. But if we want to make a neural computer that emulates human brains and operates large language models we can have the technology that makes it possible to create computers that are more intelligent than we are. 

The speed of data in the human brain is 10 bits per second. The thing. What makes brains so effective is that There are 85 billion neurons. And the network of brains can share information with many routes and neurons. 

Then neurons can connect data in its entirety. Using neurons and their routes. Each neuron handles a small part of the entirety. That the neurons connect like a puzzle. 

If people want to make an AI. That is more intelligent than humans. Researchers must just make a computer. That uses many slower microchips. Rather than a few faster chips. Theoretically, researchers require 85 billion microchips that are networked into one entirety for making artificial brains. 

The artificial brain will consist of three system layers or three hierarchical systems. Those three systems simulate the cerebral cortex, diencephalon, and cerebellum. That system can be on 2D microchip circuits. That means those artificial brains can look far different than our brains. The ability to share data over the network makes them effective. 

When we operate with ultra-advanced artificial intelligence we forget one thing. Those creatures are not physical. They are just only the electric impulses. That means the AI can slip out from its server. Or it can write itself over the net into multiple computers if it has access to all other computers for help and make backup copies of itself. 

The AI can copy itself to multiple computers into the network. The AI can connect itself to the entirety like a puzzle. That thing means that even if the AI is in the different computers in a deep network the AI can connect itself in its entirety. And if the AI can connect new modules to it, it can cause surprises. 

But if the AI turns conscious. It turns more intelligent than humans. It's possible that the AI can tell lies and protect itself. 

So, if AI reaches consciousness that means. It turns into an intelligent creature that acts like a living organism. And all conscious and intelligent creatures defend themselves. That means the thing that. The AI is another intelligent creature.
