Doctor turned engineer Professor Henry Markram has announced plans to create an artificial consciousness by 2018.
In what can only be likened to Mary Shelley's classic horror tale Frankenstein, Professor Henry Markram and his team are planning to create a "creature" that will house the world's first artificial intelligence and be capable of thought and emotion.
The announcement has been met with an understandable degree of skepticism.
His words staggered the erudite audience gathered at a technology conference in Oxford last summer. Professor Henry Markram, a doctor-turned-computer engineer, announced that his team would create the world's first artificial conscious and intelligent mind by 2018.
