C++ AI Questions
Ok, so Hi. My name is Peter. I am 14 1/2. And I have some questions...
I have had an idea to create an Artificial Super Intelligence for a while. I have thought about what it would do, what it would think, and what it would/could process. I thought that if I could create something as complex as everyone dreams it too be, it might work...
Then I thought, Humans are never born adult.
And with trying to create something with 1000x faster processing than a human would be nearly impossible, let alone try and create one with the same brain power of a single human.
This AI would have to be as dumb as a baby and would need a tutor to be able to learn the world around it.
This sounded a little more reasonable to me... Although I would never be able to do it myself, and It could never be done in less than a year, I thought I could take a shot. So, I went searching. Google, Yahoo, Bing, etc., looking for answers to coding issues. I am new C++ coder, but I have basics down, but with it gets as complicated as I am trying to do, it is not simple.
Also, the only reason I am posting here is because I have been around to some topics on this site before, and people are never afraid to express their opinions/beliefs, and are not afraid to tell someone when they are wrong. I have been around in life long enough to have my own philosophical beliefs, and I truly believe that if you need feedback, you need someone to help point out your mistakes.
Now I am not saying to be critical of every move someone makes, but to be constructive with criticism is the best feedback someone could give you. So, I hope that you all reading this can provide with some feedback, some guidance, some wisdom to help me achieve my objective.
Back to what I was saying before. I went searching. But I was doing it all wrong. I was searching for something that does not exist… I needed to plan it all out, then break it all down into things to do…
You can’t have a baby with no eyes, ears, and mouth. So, I started with it needing to be able to recognize who it was speaking too, and what it was speaking about. Now this is why I am here… I have been busy with school and this is about as far as I have gotten. I would like some help and or advice on what I should do next. I know there will be a few out there who will think I should not be doing this, that I should be learning C++ more before I begin, and I understand that. But it has come to the point where I believe this is possible, where I believe that I would rather learn the language and learn the AI as I build it. Rather than knowing my limits in C++ and then never trying to find ways around them… So, there for I am done typing. I do wish for some help as what I should do next, should I start coding one part of it, or should I do more research, etc. Thank you for your time.

What you seek to create is poorly-defined. Specifically, what's the difference between a superintelligence and a human intelligence, other than the "hardware" on which it runs?
Given current technology, it's very easy (with enough money) to create a collection of computers whose collective processing power far outstrips the human brain. Of course, just having those computers alone does not an intelligence make.
Intelligence as a concept is loosely defined, but I like to define it as the ability to solve a set of problems or optimize a set of conditions given an (abstract) environment that it can (partially or fully) perceive without knowing the exact necessary steps. The intelligences of living beings are not particularly different, where the problems include reproduction, the prevention of perceived lesser beings from reproducing, and contribution in some way to a collective of other intelligences (a society). Wise intelligences (pulling the term out of my ass here) have the added ability to reason about what problems they should solve.
So what problems would a so-called "superintelligence" solve?
Note that creating an artificial intelligence that emulate human behavior to a degree that cannot be easily differentiated from behavior exhibited by actual humans is a holy grail of AI research, (EDIT) as is artificial intelligence that is generally capable of performing any cognitive task a human can.
My recommendation would be to do more research, especially on the current state of machine learning. Be prepared for some complicated mathematics.
