Observed by Gordon E. Moore (Intel founder) 1971 2011 How will it happen? • integration of technology into our environment, bodies and brains What will A.I be capable of? O Computers will learn human skills O They will access their design and rebuild themselves O They will share knowledge at electronic speeds The Singularity “Machine intelligence will be infinitely more powerful than all human intelligence combined, and technological development will be taken over by the machines." 2045 99 -Ray Kurzweil 2 year's later... Computers will be twice as clever as us, and if we're not careful we may be working for them. If we're lucky, A.I will just make pets of us. weareautomated.com Icons by various designers.
