But it kinda is though. Honestly, I don't know why but this doesn't really surprised me at all. China is, and continues to go crazy serious with their AI business so the Chinese go…

I'm okay with the singularity as well, though I gotta admit I have some reservations about it. Like, what if I get sacked because AI is taking over? Yes, they said AI could boost e…

If smart, intelligent humans are the ones that's going to make artificial superintelligence, wouldn't that make us more intelligent than them? Unless AI can create a more intellige…

The thing is, our planet will always be here even after we're all gone. We may not survive global warming or the worst of it, but the planet will still be here, and it will adapt t…

I agree. In my personal opinion, these robots will help the students learn more and pay more attention, but preparing them for the cubicle is just... idk. I mean, in case of high s…
