Robot Consciousness: Physics and Metaphysics Here and Abroad

Interest has been renewed in the study of consciousness, both theoretical and applied, following developments in 20th and early 21st-century logic, metamathematics, computer science, and the brain sciences. In this evolving narrative, I explore several theoretical questions about the types of artificial intelligence and offer several conjectures about how they affect possible future developments in this exceptionally transformative field of research. I also address the practical significance of the advances in artificial intelligence in view of the cautions issued by prominent scientists, politicians, and ethicists about the possible dangers of such sufficiently advanced general intelligence, including by implication the search for extraterrestrial intelligence

Comparison of A* Algorithm and Greedy Best Search in Searching Fifteen Puzzle Solution

Artificial Intelligence is an exciting field to research. Artificial Intelligence itself is a broad subject. The application of artificial intelligence in daily routine is various. One of the usages of artificial intelligence is finding the shortest route on a map. In general, the algorithm which can be used for finding the shortest route is A*. A* is often used in finding the shortest route in a graph or map. Generally speaking, A* is used to make a game, especially for finding the shortest route of an intelligent agent inside it. In this paper, the finding solution of puzzle game using A* and Greedy Best First Search is to be discussed. The puzzle game which is discussed is the Fifteen Puzzle. This research compares the two algorithms used, A* and Greedy Best First Search. This research shows that Greedy Best First Search gives a slightly faster solution than A*
