If and when will Artificial Intelligence surpass man as most intelligent ?
AI is a favorite subject of mine right behind astronomy and cosmology and theories of origins (of ourselves and the universe). The reason for my intense interest is because I personally think they are related. Not related like distant cousins but more like brother and sister, but there is not enough room to cover that in this thread! I began thinking about AI when I read that human Lee Sedol beat Googles AlphaGo computer which was built for the game. Mr Sedol won one out of three games. AlphaGo won the first three matches in a best-of-five series. Computers have already clinched chess and was on the way of doing the same with the Go game until Mr Sedols win. So considering that and that computer processing power is increasing exponentially ie doubling about every two years as per Moors law Mans reign as the most intelligent 'species' on earth is almost over imo. My guess is within 50 years barring some unforeseen barricade to Moore's law increasing computer power man will lose his crown. So say so long Homo sapiens sapiens, enter intelligentia binarii as most intelligent 'species'. Lastly I did not specify the size or weight etc the computer that is being considered to one day surpass mans intelligent. If that was included I would have to increase the length of time of my guess to 100 years. Our brain can perform about 10 exaflops (10 quintillion) operations a second and it uses about 20 watts of power. However optimistic experts say hi end home computers will match the processing power of a human brain by 2045. If that happens I want two! Still, I am guessing it will be 100 years hence for a brain sized computer than runs on twenty watts of power etc to match our brain total processing 'power'.
Agree or disagree comment please...
