Episode description

What does the future of intelligence look like? 🧠🤖 Well, if we continue to make any progress whatsoever, machines will eventually be smarter than humans. So it's not a question of IF machines will be smarter than humans, but WHEN! “The power of AI lays dormant in machines just like the power of nuclear weapons lay dormant in the atom” - Nick Bostrom 2040 is the median year that researchers predict machines will achieve "human-level general intelligence;" however, there are many ways that this could take form... Cyborgs, Oracles, and AI Overlords are just a few possibilities. We could find ours living in a utopia, a dystopia, or somewhere in between. Human intelligence will continue to improve as well. We are already figuring out how to modify our own genetic code, and how to add a digital layer via brain machine interfaces. In Episode 2 we explore all these topics and more as we determine the best case, the worst case, and the most likely scenario for the future of intelligence.
