"Artificial intelligence abound, but one thing is clear: It is making ever further advances into our daily lives. It is in our cars, cellphones, schools, banks, hospitals and homes.
Artificial intelligence
refers to the development of machines that can think like human beings.
AI is rapidly developing in areas of visual perception, speech
recognition, decision-making and translation between languages.
Deep learning generally refers to computer software that attempts to mimic the activity of the neocortex,
the part of the brain where thinking occurs. The software can recognize
patterns in digital representations of sounds, images and other data.
It is used in IBM’s Watson computer and in Microsoft’s Bing and
cellphones.
The singularity is the idea that, at some point, the
rate of technological development will overtake humanity and alter
civilization as we know it. Leading futurists such as Vernor Vinge and Ray Kurzweil predict this time will come soon and will be ushered in by advances such as artificial intelligence.
Transhumanism is the futuristic philosophy that
humans, as they exist now, are not in their final state."
