So I was watching one of my favorite movies, The Matrix, and couldn't help but start thinking about this. TC (technological singularity) is just a idea of a huge technological explosion that happens much faster than normal humans can understand.
The biggest implication of TC is of course the recursively self improving AI. Artificial intelligence that is just as good at programming as its creator(s). The AI would be able to self improve and get better at improving it self. Which leads to a exponential increase in intelligence. Ideas like this are everywhere in pop culture (Skynet, matrix , I robot ,etc..) We humans don't have any type of introspective access to our cognitive algorithms. Machines can already do that in today's age.
But is it just an idea or can we humans make this a reality. I feel like the only major problem holding us back from creating a solid AI is our lack of understanding the human brain. We still don't know much about the brain. I know there's things like the blue brain project that reverse engineers the human brain, but we are far from understanding the brain fully.
Lastly I think another huge issue with AI, besides the demise of the human race, is its efficient working power. First chapter of Karl Marx Das Kapital he introduced the idea that all economic worth is derived from the human labour needed to produce goods. AIs would put a lot of us out of work. It's nice that we get to live and witness the rise of AI,robots and advanced computation without having to deal with any of the inevitable implications it imposes.
