Beginning of the end..

Do we believe that AI will surpass human intelligence in the sense of dramatic innovations (thinking outside the box)? Medical science has been battling cancer and viruses for decades. Can a machine be taught to seek and invent solutions?

I have no idea and no opinion but I have to wonder how humans can theoretically create something "smarter" than those who built the machine.

[AKIron]

We create machines that are stronger than us, that can fly. I don't believe we can create a machine "smarter" than us directly but we may be able to create one that can learn and possibly that right fast.

It actually takes a bit of intelligence to fully harness what AI is capable of doing and helping with. Sounds like an unintelligent person who doesn't fully understand AI.

Current capabilities are complex algorithms and machine learning. There is very little if any true AI capability in the world - that stuff just exists in labs and extremely low 'intelligence' levels.

AI is now a marketing term.

This is the frightening part. Self driving cars have killed people. And something near to my heart.... there is already pressure upon the Air Line Pilots Association to fight against engineering and management plans to operate large airliners with a single pilot plus what they are calling advanced AI.

Well thank goodness that human-operated cars have not!

Wonder what the stats are per hour driven...

I see your point aand it's valid but you must admit you're mildly off topic. I would not put my family in bus driven by robotics... maybe many would.

I'm the same. For some reason I'm OK with trains though. I ride those ones at airports without a second thought.

The environment is very controlled..like at Disney..

Not so much in a car on our public streets..

AI Uber is a ways off for this old man..
