Countering Objections to Mind Uploading

2013-05-06 00:00:00

Ben Goertzel, an IEET Fellow, in response to some common objections covered in an article on io9 by George Dvorsky (IEET Director) 'You'll Probably Never Upload Your Mind Into A Computer': http://io9.com/you-ll-probably-never-...








Objections are covered in order as they appear in the article:

1. Brain functions are not computable

2. We'll never solve the hard problem of consciousness

3. We'll never solve the binding problem

4. Panpsychism is true

5. Mind-body dualism is true

6. It would be unethical to develop

7. We can never be sure it works

8. Uploaded minds would be vulnerable to hacking and abuse
