ARE WE ON THE EDGE OF AN AI-POCALYPSE?
Sometime in the future the intelligence of machines will exceed that of human brain power. Will this herald an AI-pocalypse, with superintelligent devices superseding humanity, as predicted by Stephen Hawking? Or a kind of Utopia, with machines doing a far better job at complex tasks than us?
