Organic structures generate human minds. Computer architectures will produce synthetic minds.
Synthetic consciousness is technically possible today.
Some argue that the term “computational intelligence” is a misnomer because computing machines can only process data and not information that has semantic meaning. This is a mistake.
Data becomes information when it satisfies a need. Any system, organic or synthetic, that has no needs processes only data. Give it needs and the same data becomes information.
What transforms data into information are the needs of a system, not its construction.
Here is a story about this:
