3Artificial Intelligence, Communication Systems and Artificial Consciousness

3.1. Introduction

Today, computer science is a central discipline in science and in society because of the innumerable uses of software that constantly communicate. We will detail its history, show how artificial intelligence has become significant and demonstrate that we are heading towards a distributed, highly communicating and autonomous artificial consciousness.

These continuous communications between humans through computerized systems come from a tendency to communicate, which human technology has very highly developed, and whose source comes from the informational substratum of the Universe, which is essentially communicational.

3.2. Evolution of computer science

The first computers were created in the middle of the 20th century: the Mark I dates from 1943 and performed 10 instructions per second, and the ENIAC was created in 1946 and was able to process 300 instructions per second. These totally local machines used lamps in their electronic circuits, and processed small sequences of instructions in order to perform numerical calculations. Today’s most powerful computers use electronic components and compile billions of instructions per second.

Computer science can be seen in three different aspects, which are, in fact, complementary:

  • It is the science of calculable models. This science, which is abstract and initially close to the numerical models of mathematics, studies everything that ...
