I'm trying to program an artificial neural network at the moment, and was wondering, what would groups like NASA, the military, and videogame companies pay for the source code for a strong AI that can have it's goals changed with a computer? I.E. If you had an AI that's overall goals were controlled by you, but otherwise behaved indistinguishably from a human, what might someone pay for one?
It's just that, it costs a lot and takes a lot of people, i doubt you would be able to do that yourself.
Which is why complex AI is rarely done, and AI mostly consists of an "aggro radius" and basic health watching/target scanning/ammo checking/ability utilization.
It's just too expensive, too complex, and takes too long to develop even with a team of people.
NASA/Military techs make their own AI. It should be no issue for them, there is no reason for them to outsource.
Remember now, near 100% of their software is made in-house (admittedly, based on many hackers stealing tons of data, this software is pretty terrible, but it is in-house nonetheless).
If you manage to make the AI that "behaved indistinguishably from a human" you could put any price tag you want and get paid today.
That being said, there is no hardware capable of running that kind of software.
Eh, there is.
See, you didn't clarify "human".
How old of a human? We have robots that have the AI of a 2 and 3 year old, and this article is from 2009:
The problem with watson is speech recognition, which since 2004 or so (in general, for all technology) has plateaued at 80% accuracy or so, he probably did not understand the question.

(For the love of god do not look up any videos on it, or his later versions. They are ing creepy. Creepy as in "no sleep for weeks" creepy.)
The first person to figure this out will probably become a world celebrity in the science/geek world overnight, and possibly a million/billionaire.
