    That's the prediction of Ray Kurzweil, director of engineering at Google , who spoke Wednesday at the Exponential Finance conference in New York. Kurzweil predicts that humans will become hybrids in the 2030s. That means our brains will be able to connect directly to the cloud, where there will be thousands of computers, and those computers will augment our existing intelligence.

  • Call it preemptive extinction panic, smart people buying into Sci-Fi hype or simply a prudent stance on a possible future issue, but the fear around artificial intelligence is increasingly gaining traction among those with credentials to back up the distress.
  • However, history doesn't always neatly fit into our forecasts. If things continue as they have with brain-to-machine interfaces becoming ever more common, we're just as likely to have to confront the issue of enhanced humans (digitally, mechanically and/or chemically) long before AI comes close to sentience.
  • Still, whether or not you believe computers will one day be powerful enough to go off and find their own paths, which may conflict with humanity's, the very fact that so many intelligent people feel the issue is worth a public stance should be enough to grab your attention.

    Stephen Hawking and Elon Musk fear that artificial intelligence could become dangerous. We talked about this a bit in class before, but it is starting to become a new fear. Artificial intelligence could possibly become smarter than us, and that wouldn't be good.

    The future of CGI... from 1982 The internet is unbreakable. At least, we think it is. That's why when something goes extremely viral, such as pictures of Kim Kardashian's bottom or #thedress, we joke about it " breaking the internet ".
