Science fiction is fond of talking about the point at which computers might become what we call ‘self-aware’. This is the precipice beyond which machines start to use their Artificial Intelligence (AI) capabilities to understand they do in fact exist as ‘things’ in and of themselves. The term you will hear used increasingly is Life Presence Detection (LPD), but the expression “Skynet has become self-aware” is still science fiction, for now at least.
