I think the 14 objectives for humans is pretty interesting myself:

CHALLENGES FACING HUMANITY
Make solar energy affordable
Provide energy from fusion
Develop carbon sequestration
Manage the nitrogen cycle
Provide access to clean water
Reverse engineer the brain
Prevent nuclear terror
Secure cyberspace
Enhance virtual reality
Improve urban infrastructure
Advance health informatics
Engineer better medicines
Advance personalised learning
Explore natural frontiers

haha, we were supposed to have the first extraterrestrial Olympics on the moon by 2010 based on a space exploration book that was written in the 60s.

...still a chance.
 
While I like the sound of pretty much all of the things we 'must do'.

Reverse engineer the brain - do not do this.

Understanding it is a positive thing and can help people, actually reverse engineering is a recipe for disaster. I don't want to see them spoon with the chance of super human machines thinking independently thanks.

Anyway when they say for 'humans' they really mean corporations, because all we seem to strive to accomplish is the aquisition of moar stuffs.

But some mathematicians proved that computer cannot outsmart human. At least the type of computer we are using cannot. Don't know about quantum computer. :/

The computer beats me at chess all the fricking time. D:

And have these scientists not read any science fiction book ever made ever. Artificial Intelligence will **** you up. The Matrix, The Terminator, Mass Effect, millions of other books/films/games.
 
Playing chess requires no intelligence. Rather, massive computing power wins.

Massive neural networks could outsmart us at some things. But at cognitive ability, languages etc. I doubt they will ever be better than us.
 
20 years later, the first Homeless robots.
 
From the article the BBC gives it makes it sound like we're going to become the Borg :p
 
Good. Now, I'll never have to do anything again.

"Hey robot. Blow me!"

"No."

;(
 
Hey guys, posting from 2030 and not only do we have intelligent machines, but we can also time-travel on the internet. Just thought I'd let ya'll know.

I doubt it

And from that list the only one I have a problem with is "securing cyberspace". I like it the way it is now, wild west style.
 
AI has been debunked as fantasy already.

I'm surprised some folk still cling to it.
 
I'm expecting human like intelligence in games well before that time then.
 
It's kinda hard to predict this stuff, I mean, if we go back 21 years and see what kinda stuff they had in 1987 we've made some pretty impressive progress when it comes to computer technology. So who knows, 20 years down the line we could have made some pretty cool shit.
 
I don't think that sort of stuff will happen by 2029.

I do think that robots will be fairly commonplace in the 2030's, but their intelligence will nowhere near rival that of a human. They may by that time rival those of a rodent.

If progress = the same rate by 2130, and we don't destroy ourselves, then would it possible?

They probably wont achieve it by that time but i certainly do think its possible with neural networks. Brains follow the same information constructs that computers follow i.e 1's and 0's so theres no reason why we shouldn't be able to break it down and essentially reverse engineer it. i just doubt that it will happen by 2029.

You're kidding right?

I'm going to be minoring in artificial intelligence and robotics next year. I sure hope my degree won't be one in "fantasy". :LOL:
 
War = population control. Sadly, we need war.

You never know. There's actually a lot more than you think you know going on behind the scenes in terms of research ;)

Aren't you a, "computer scientist" or something Druckles? I read your profile once. How's that coming along for you?

War has no significant impact whatsoever on the human population as a whole.

Even the world's most devastating war which claimed over 70 million lives, World War II, most of which were civilian... that isn't even a tiny fraction upon total cumulative world population, or really even a one point in time situation.

Agreed. The world birth rate ratio is much greater than the loss of life ratio. Be it natural or homocidal. Humans are worse than rabbits. :p

:O People read that?

*changes*

No, it's awesome.

You have a problem with the work "science"? :p

To the best of my recollection (which isn't that great) our brains operate well beyond binary instructions with various levels of signal intensities, which is what grants us such complexity. I think this was one of the key suggestions as to why "biological computing" (using neuron maps as a computer chip etc) is being considered an interesting alternative to our present systems due to the sheer processing power of the brain even at the cost of comparitive size between neurons and nanometer-sized transistors.
