ACClarke is widely regarded for his take on technology though I credit him also having a significant biological perspective incubated while diving the Coral Reefs of Sri Lanka. Having a biosphere context to AI in these conversations resonated with me. Clarke was asked about the idea of an intelligent computer, an artificial intelligence like HAL, "do you think we'll achieve that?" He's quoted saying; "Oh, I don't think there’s any question of that. I think that the people that say we will never develop computer intelligence — they merely prove that some biological systems don't have much intelligence".
