...if we want them to act on our behalf as personal assistants.
The minute we make it mandatory for bots to announce themselves, every business in existence will create "no automated bots" policies (just like every major website does now) and simply auto disconnect any calls from bots, at which point all the bots become useless.
So no, we shouldn't force bots to announce themselves (unless we don't want bots at all).

... so you don't know a goddamned thing yourself.
Wow, you make so many unwarranted assumptions you'd be hard pressed to argue your way out of a wet paper bag. You don't know shit about me and everything you assumed you got wrong. All you've done here is prove how much of an idiot you are.
... the whole approach to so-called 'AI' is completely wrong and a dead end.
LOL - only if you don't understand the difference between Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) and Artificial Intelligence (AI), which you've made painfully clear that you are totally ignorant of.
We haven't got a clue how the phenomenon of 'consciousness' 'self awareness' or 'sentience' actually works in our own brains;
Well, this is just utter bullshit. We have plenty of clues to how it works, and some pretty good ideas on how to recreate it and what properties it must have.
This is the kind of unmitigated nonsense that philosophers usually spill when they are completely ignorant of the current state of scientific understanding.
Lastly, you obviously don't know what "sentience" means: it is simply the ability to have sensations, and we understand that quite well.
I've been reading stories in removing bias from algorithms but still don't get it. What is an algorithm bias? If the results don't have perfectly flat distribution across sex, race, religion, and other protected groups?
That's because calling it "algorithm bias" is a category error. Algorithms can't be biased (unless explicitly so...)
What they really mean is "data bias" or GIGO - but because people don't understand the difference between process and data, they're erroneously targeting the process for correction

LOL - the new SCOTUS after Trump's appointment will be more likely to rule that humans aren't people...
What if the bot doesn't know it's not human?
"Is this testing whether I'm a replicant, or a lesbian Mr. Deckard?"

Welcome to Microsoft Windows!
Why do you want to cripple your kids like this?
Rite?
I can access it just fine...
Probably just a switch or subnet issue
...consoles have had USB ports since somewhere around the PlayStation 2 era.
Tell it to Microsoft: https://hardware.slashdot.org/...
...or did you miss the part where this article was about Microsoft and Nintendo only?
... for the console players until the console producers start making mouse & keyboard peripherals for them.
Without out that, all the console 12yr olds are going to get slaughtered by people using PCs with mouse and keyboard
...of gutting education and immigration.
It's largely why Finland recently abandoned a basic-income plan after a small test.
The above is incorrect and they didn't: http://www.wired.co.uk/article...
Oh fuck off.
Ad Hominem, so clearly you're an idiot
You don't work in any such field yourself,
I do
you're not an AI researcher,
I am
you're not a neuroscientist,

... ROBOTS do not buy PRODUCTS?
Huh, and I'm sure we were all going to pay them *salaries* until you pointed this out. You must be a genius or something.

The disadvantage with xml is that it creates a lot of overhead
They're already using Java, obviously they're not concerned about overhead.
LOL!
But the Java fanatics just put in more and more features, regardless of whether sane languages had them or not.
Sounds like the exact strategy being used by the .NET folks currently...
DING! DING! DING!^^^
We have a winnah!
Wish I had mod points today...
a time-saver!
Sadly, not a money saver though. You gotta pay the cost to be the boss!
LOL
It buys you WIN
Nope.
For that kind of money, I can come to your house and custom program 1/8th of a game for you
