Isn't this exactly what every intelligence and investigation organization since the dawn of time has done?

Not all that nefarious.

Consciousness and sentience is my least favorite subject. No matter how you slice it, the nihilist is probably right. :\

I am such a nerd. This game was the first thing that article made me think of. In the game's world, the mechs have targeting AIs that are modeled after different animals, and each has different properties relating to their functionality. When they mentioned using that data to design cognitive computing chips, I was thinking that any specialization the originating brain had would probably show through in the chips.

Unrelated: are there any neural modeling experiments like Folding@Home?
