Assuming we agree that there is a potential for an AI to become a Singularity how far do you think we are form it happening?
Bear in mind as I said in the other post I am not sure that NNs will be a candidate for the Singularity. That said one cannot ignore the recent explosion in potential seen with NNs. To name a few Watson, Deep Learning, Google’s self-driving car (though there are other things at work beyond NNs in this), and many other advances in machine learning have all pushed the field far ahead of what it was just two years ago.
Perhaps the singularity will use a hybrid system that relies on NNs for some part of its processing function. It may even use several as slave processes to its primary function.
So based on the discussions from the first post I am interested to know your thought as to when the Singularity might happen.
Writing MagTech made me realized a lot of moral and social issues need addressing as we plunge into a future filled with technology. My book is set in the year 2226, two hundred years in the future. I chose that because brain augmentation may be fully mainstream by the year 2026. That is only twelve years from now, in regard to the advancement of technology it is a lifetime. By the year 2020 mankind’s knowledge will double every 72 hours. This blog will attempt to further the debate:
