Now let'sgo deeper down the rabbit hole and talk about the ones we all fear...A.I. Yep, artificial intelligence, and no matter what way you look at it, people are seriously trying to make it happen, and make it happen soon. AI's are literally everywhere, including inyour cars, and in your homes via devices like Alexa (which are indeed forms of AI), andthere are things like Watson that is so smart that it could beat two Jeopardy Legends.
So by 2050, AI could be so advanced that ourcultures, our world could literally be run by them in a logistical and computing sense...or...ina Terminator "humans are obsolete sense. And believe it or not, we're closer to that than you might think. "Google's Deep Mind isn't there yet, but reallyI'm sure they'll probably discover those things along the way, and by 2020, it's possibletheir computer could be super human and can be conscious".
Pearson has said "That could be the beginning of the highest , really." Is "judgment day inevitable"? May be, may be not, it just depends on how farwe go with AI and how much we're able to control it, or if we can't fully control it once theyreach certain levels of intelligence. Of course, for all of our worries about AI,there is a chance that it could all be fine. Imagine if the lighter side of sci-fi comesthrough in regards to AI and we get a bright future powered by AI. Think about it, what if by 2050 we EACH getout own unique AI. We could customize how they sound, how theylook, and basically have a BFF that'll help us out in life in various ways.
Remind us of things like Alexa, guide us inhomework and fields of study, be a being that we can bounce ideas off of, etc. If THAT sort of AI came through, then by 2050we could sleep in a utopia where AI helps us be better. But hey, let's not dwell on our potentialdoom..
