The Future Of A.I.

Many people are simply amazed at what our computers are capable of doing for them, and more amazed by how smart they are, responding almost like ordinary people if not better. With the global integration of smart-machine driven devices like iPhones and handheld mini-super computers making our lives better, there is a slight downside to this rising A.I. (artificial intelligence) taking over nearly all aspect of our lives, our tools, our machines, and electronic devices. But today many top engineers fear that machines are becoming far more intelligent faster than was thought possible. A growing existential threat could be happening if we as humans are not careful with the technological progression of dominating machines moving at a much faster evolutionary state than its creators. From private industries to the US military, all are working toward creating super artificial intelligent machines that will surpass human level intelligence that function perfectly and autonomously like in some science fiction movie. Machines should work for us not against us.*Read the interesting article “Rise of the Machines” in the Sydney Morning Herald by Asher Moses, Technology Editor.
