Yogesh -- First, Thank you for the references. I will certainly try to read as much as I can.

What machines can and cannot do? I'm in the camp that thinks conscious machines can and will be built, and that these machines will certainly be able to learn. Intuition, I think, is a rather subtle, weak or virtually linked associative network built from lots of experience. Given a stimulus, it provides broad brushed "pointers" to blocks of memory (or code).

Compared to humans, machines indeed learn in very simplistic and naive ways. But less so than even a very few years ago.
Thanks again,
Reilly Atkinson
