Superintelligence

Computing power and software development has really taken off in the past decade. The growth of technology has been exponential but it is still hard to predict just when we will be able to development artificial intelligence. Some experts feel that it could be achieved in the next forty years. The question becomes just how we will get there. One of the idea is that we will get inspiration from biological systems. In short we would be plagiarizing nature The circuits now look strangely similar to the connections that are seen in the brain. We also have somewhat of an understanding of the way that the brain learns. Another option in this field is that there could be some sort of mash up of both biology and technology where the tech can significantly alter and add to the biological abilities. We are well on that path already. Another option is to use pure mathematics where the AI would be worked out using the basic math principles.

  1. Software development and cloud computing have been able to solve some of the world's biggest problems or at least come closer to the solution.

  2. The hardware also needs to be able to keep up with the software development. Combining the two might just give up answers to some of the worlds biggest problems.

  3. I recently read that there is the strong possibility that we are all a part of a mobile application and just a program. What a way to deflate a bubble.

  4. What would software development bordering on artificial intelligence do to society? We do not understand the implications just yet.
