We are on the edge of two revolutions, which will overwhelm virtually everything currently covered by the media.
Artificial intelligence is the development of massive computational capabilities for understanding and managing specific activities. For example, the air traffic control system already relies heavily on AI to match up the four-dimensional process of moving aircraft around the world. An aircraft carrier battle group has extensive AI in its defensive system.
Artificial general intelligence, or AGI, is a dramatically more powerful theoretical system. Some people argue it may be unattainable. Essentially, AGI would be a system that could constantly learn and evolve without being limited to one particular area or topic. It would be a constantly evolving and self-improving system. At least in theory, it could outthink humans and even compete with them.
No one in 1880 could have foreseen that electric lights would eliminate night. Farmers used to work from light to dark, and then Thomas Edison made dark obsolete. It did not occur to anyone in 1894 that in a few short years, Henry Ford would begin to eliminate horse manure as an urban problem by giving it a new problem in cars, trucks and buses.
The challenge will be to understand AI’s potential and then reimagine the way the world works with these powerful new tools.
