Ya'll realize we are the LAST generation of humans on planet earth

Imagine if in the future the top lifeforms were sentient machines and we were just kept alive for maintenance:chillhov:
matrix shyt

Nah they going to harvest our brains for the computing power

Y'all are overestimating the current scope of artificial intelligence, as well as what these "breakthroughs" have actually meant for AI.
We're nowhere near the point where AI could "take over" anything.
Even deeper than that, the concept of "corruption" with artificial intelligence means that there has to be a human source for anything to go wrong.

Most experts say the point in which AI will take over everything is somewhere between the year 2040-2050. So I don't know whether you consider that close or far away. But that is the time period MOST experts we'll see the singularity.

Before we see that, we will see artificial intelligence start taking over little by little. Right now we have driverless cars run by computers and algorithms that run the stock exchange. Soon you'll see artificial intelligence diagnosing diseases. In the 2030 you'll see robots powered by artificial intelligence that are almost at human level. And then boom before you know its the 2040s and computers have taken over every industry in every field and they are millions of times more intelligent than normal biological humans. At that point you will also see alot of merging with machines as many people become transhuman. It is during that phase that humanity goes beyond what it is to be human.

Artificial Intelligence is getting better each year. A few years back an AI called Watson (created by IBM) beat the best human champions in Jeopardy. This was considered a milestone because it showed that computers could master the complexity of human language. Last year an AI created by Google called AlphaGo beat the best human champion in the Ancient Chinese game of Go. This game is way more complicated than chess. In fact, its so complicated that there are more possible moves in the game Go than there are atoms in the universe. Thus, the artificial intelligence powering Google's AlphaGo computer couldn't just do brute force calculations to beat its human opponent like IBM's Deep Blue did back in 1997 when it beat the "Michael Jordan of Chess" Garry Kasparov for the first time.

What the AI created by Google did was to learn how to play the Ancient Chinese game of Go like a human would. Then it had to practice playing the game against itself in thousands of simulations. And after all that practice it was able to easily beat the best human champion. This was considered a seminal moment in artificial intelligence history. Because it showed the shift from just brute force calculations to actual machine learning. It showed us that its possible for a computer to learn like we learn and then to apply those learning skills in super human ways.

We are not far off from the singularity folks. A theoretical moment in the future when artificial intelligence become so much more intelligent than all humans on earth put together that we have no idea what will happen next. For those that are skeptical about this coming technological singularity, just watch the video below:

• So you're saying that white people are on a negative birth rate and will eventually become extinct. (There's been threads made on this)

• Black people are gifted physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually due to our Melanin and its capabilities. (There's threads about researching the use of melanin for batteries)
  
• Historically, cacs have been jealous of our melanin.
• Out of their jealousy they have been trying to "play god" not only in their treatment of people, and their station in society but also with their involvement in science.
  
• Their desire to play god has festered to the point of them focusing on automation and Artificial Intelligence.
• Cacs have created A.I. which will then take their place in be some hating ass haters.
• Society will be run with brutal robotic machines that focus on the melanated people.

This sounds like the plot to X-Men.

You're jumping a little bit ahead
The current AI you're seeing isn't "conceptualising" anything, nor is it even within the realm of human intelligence, or even something like chimpanzee/dolphin/elephant intelligence, they're just fairly complex programs that follow a kind of pattern-recognition that follows preset "grouped" responses. Stock exchange isn't run by algorithms, trust me AI can't even keep up with the economic system, at least not yet. Transhumanism isn't quite there yet either, I don't see it being there by the 50s or the 60s, it'll take even longer.

It's evolution who cares??!! Upload human consciousness into robot bodies and let's get off this planet!

What are your qualifications?

The 2040-2050 timeline isn't my estimate. Its the median date given to us by AI experts. This is when the guys who are doing this for a living expect to see smarter than human level artificial intelligence.

Now if you're an engineer or scientist who works in the field of artificial intelligence and you know more than your peers then by all means educate us normal people. However, if you're just like me and don't know shyt about computers then STFU and say you're just talking out ya ass.

I play a little with AI, using LISP (I was introduced to AI by Douglas Hofstadter in GDB, and a good chunk of my knowledge comes from Hal Abelson, and subsequently Peter Norvig.) I'm definitely above-and-beyond the average person, but not nearly to the level of a career developer or anything. I also keep up with news on artificial intelligence, and have attempted some machine learning building using what I've learned in LISP transported into Java (predicting price movements), though I haven't gotten very far.
"Smarter-than-human" artificial intelligence is just really, really vague.

Aight. Now I'm not saying you are wrong. There are some experts who agree with you in saying that the singularity is farther off than the next 30 years. But then again there are also some experts who think it might be only 10-15 years away. The reason I said 2040-2050 is because that is the median time frame in which MOST experts in the field of artificial intelligence think we'll have smarter than human AI.

Billionaire Mark Cuban: The Rise of Technology Will Cause a Lot of Unemployment

Cuban also touched upon artificial intelligence during a one-on-one panel with Watson.


"However much change you saw over the past ten years with the Apple (AAPL) iPhone, that's nothing," Cuban continued. Cuban also claims that Montreal and China are "kicking our ass" with artificial intelligence.


Cuban also expressed concern about technology usurping the current standard of everyday business practices, leaving many unemployed.


"There's going to be a lot of unemployed people replaced with technology and if we don't start dealing with that now, we're going to have some real problems," said Cuban.
