Doesn seem far-fetched to have Computer Intellects (AIs) taking over from humanity?
Actually this is not so strange. It begins with the serious predictions that have been made by many researchers working in the field of artificial intelligence today. According to these researchers, it is quite possible that at some point in the near future (say within the next 50 years) artificial intelligence’s (a better word than “computers”) will not only exceed human capabilities (and even now we have computers that can beat the best human players at chess), but also will have their own awareness, perhaps as a self-emergent property of the program itself. And these computers will also possess self-evolving algorithms. So not only will they be awfully smart, but they can make themselves progressively smarter. Some thinkers have termed this event the Singularity. When the Singularity occurs present-day man will no longer be the dominant lifeform on planet Earth. Whether the next race will be genetically augmented human, human-AI cyborg, or purely AI, remains to be seen. Popular cult
