Question: Why hasn't the HAL been invented yet?
Answer: To be a HAL it heeds to be self-aware. And how to do that nobody knows.

Why don't we have it?
Partially because they made movies like Space: 2001 have contributed to making people paranoid about giving computers such deductive reasoning and decision making abilities, especially enough to justify murder and sabotage.
More precisely, Space: 2001 demonstrates how vulnerable an artificial intelligence would be in making one contorted judgement to do something very very dangerous.
No, the actual decision making and discussions are left entirely up to humans, the role machine intelligence plays is as a silent and eternally loyal slave. Intelligent, but ignorant. It will do EXACTLY what you tell it to do, if you tell (program) it to solder components then it will until it breaks and is repaired or scrapped.
It's not going to JUDGE whether the task it has been given is the right thing to do, or even whether it is the most efficient thing to do.
We haven't given decision making ability to machines because it's the one part of industry that humans would rather do themselves.
Interestingly, some decision making has been left on large systems, I remember they once handed over a trading bank to an artificial intelligence. I don't think it went well.

More importantly, we have one with the voice of [HEADING=3]BRIAN BLESSED![/HEADING]Bobic said:
OT: Because building an AI, a REAL one, is alot harder than we thought it would be.
The reason HAL hasn't been made is because we haven't figured out the human Brain's operating system, I guess you could say. I remember reading somewhere that we have properly simulated the brains of lesser creatures like insects and rodents. It's only a matter of time before we are able to completely simulate a human mind and expand upon that. When we get to that point, we'll really have to redefine what is alive and what isn't.
You're joking right? You have hardly used or relied on anything mechanical before?DeadlyYellow said:
Doing things yourself doesn't exclude mechanical activity does it? Given that the average person get's up in the morning, exercises (may or may not involve machines), has a shower (which may or may not use mechanical heating), make breakfast (which may or may not require mechanical appliances), catch a ride to school or work (which may or may not involve mechanical transport), do work/hand in assignments (which may or may not require mechanical aid), buy groceries/shop (which may or may not have machines or mechanical aids), get home (again transport), relax (TV, Console, Radio, Ipod, E-readers, games) and finally sleep (which may or may not involve mechanical aids: fan, heaters, mosquito repellents, etc..etc..)DeadlyYellow said:
I don't see how anyone can not have a mechanical reliance. Perhaps it's just me....
Yeah, I think it had lot to do with how he questioned and answered questions. Also the animated faces he kept pulling.stinkychops said:
How's this then: I don't put my faith in largely autonomous devices that exist outside a virtual space. Any better?Kaboose the Moose said:

A computer programmed only by lines of code will never become an artificial intelligence.
To make an A.I., we would need to "grow" them.
In order to do that we need memristors, synapse-like circuits, and massive storage capacity. We have memristors and the storage capacity, but a technology that mimics the way neurons form connections while learning is some ways off.
You would assemble your A.I. brain, and then proceed to teach it how to operate. It would have base-level programming to start with though.
