The State of Artificial Intelligence in 2019 and Challenges Beyond
The development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race. It would take off on its own, and re-design itself at an ever-increasing rate. Humans, who are limited by slow biological evolution, couldn’t compete and would be superseded
Ultimately, AI will dematerialize, demonetize and democratize all services, dramatically improving the quality of life for 8 billion people, pushing us closer towards a world of abundance.
