It all sounds great until you think about how it could be used. Being able to replicate and imitate any voice, anyone calling you over the phone could be pretending to be someone you know; your spouse, your children, your banker and so on.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://sensorymetrics.com/2007/11/04/software-weapons-40/">Currently artificial intelligence / pattern recognition software is becoming capable of telling the difference between a pear and an apple.  Imagine the year when the consciousness module is plugged in and turned on (2030~2040?).  Lets hope we’ve first enabled the ethical subroutines.  Do you believe AI consciousness is even possible?</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://sensorymetrics.com/2007/11/04/software-weapons-40/"><div align="center"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/sensorymetrics.com/img/66BE446A-DCAA-4639-9728-FA613203AF2D" alt="Matrix Sentinel" /></div></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/3BC8458B-7F0A-4724-8C4F-9E59DD7D1FCA/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
