Joscha Bach considers it conceivable that GPUs could implement nearly all intelligent behaviors of interest, except assimilating a self-reporting conscious agent, because GPUs are more powerful, more deterministic, and support other classes of algorithms.

“And it's conceivable that the entire set of intelligent behaviors that you are interested in, except for this one thing where you're assimilating a self-reporting, uh, conscious agent, uh, can be implemented on GPUs because the GPUs are more powerful, more deterministic, more open to other classes of algorithms.”
