While no robot has passed the official Turing test (though many have
passed highly simplified versions of it), the idea of a central AI
system is an innovative one-- just think, "Wikipository-- the
information repository that any robot can contribute to"--
Intelligent robots are programmed to be modular in a sense that they can
receive new sets of instructions and "learn" to perform them. If robots
had a centralized global information repository, just think of the
possibilities of artificial intelligence! If such a repository could be
established and successfully implemented, it would no doubt become the
most powerful source of artificial intelligence in the world.
And regarding robots "letting" humans edit their 'pedia...unless we
program them to restrict our contributions, they can't. And even then,
WSC is correct-- what's to stop us from looking like a bot?

Incidentally one of my friends who is in that line of work reckoned
that there probably isn't yet an AI that could pass the Turing test
sufficiently well to get through RFA. But I reckon there is an even
chance that we will need a policy such as

the end of Wikipedia's second decade.

"Robots could soon have an equivalent of the internet and Wikipedia."
Do you think they will let humans edit their Wikipedia?
