Around the 2030s, humans
will have the
technological means to
create super artificial
intelligence (S.A.I). A
digital consciousness far
superior to the human
mind. A computer that is
"awake". In 1965,
I.J.Good first wrote of
an "intelligence
explosion", suggesting
that if machines could
even slightly surpass
human intellect, they
could improve their own
designs in ways
unforeseen by their
designers, and thus
augment themselves into
far greater
intelligences. Which
would lead to an
exponential and quite
sudden growth in
intelligence. This
prophesized ocurrance is
now commonly referred to
as the "Technological
Singularity" It is
evident in every aspect
of human life in the
present, that this
impending and unavoidable
threshold of
technological evolution
is beckoning faster and
sooner than popular
culture would believe.
"Moores Law" - In 1965
Intel co-founder Gordon
Moore's prediction stated
that the number of
transistors on a chip
would double every two
years. And it has kept
that pace for nearly 40
years. This is how you
can go from "Pong" to
"Tomb Raider" and an
Audio-casette "personal
stereo" to an 80 gigabite
"Ipod" in a relatively
short space of time.
Follow the law through
and we have Technological
Singularity. It is
believed that shortly
after "Technological
Singularity" and the
“Artificial
Intelligence Explosion",
the human era will be
ended. Is such progress
avoidable? If not to be
avoided, can events be
guided so that we may
survive? Zeno Vara and
his team are hard at work
in the past, present and
future, on a concept to
counter the affects of
all fore mentioned pre
and post events *END
