Where will AI be in 20 years?

[JackShephard]

It's sort of a fun thing to think about. Imagine having intelligent conversations with an AI. I don't know everything about AI, but I bet that we could give AI consciousness, behaviors, personality (maybe self generated?) creativity even. All that stuff. But I also think we would have to keep AI under as much control as possible. Potentially, they could become smarter than us. And maybe being inferior as humans, one might decide that we don't deserve to exist as much as they do. Has anyone seen the matrix? Lol

I like to imagine that the line between human and machine will be blurred in the future. That AI will someday evolve on it's own. So what do you think?

whats an AI?

[JackShephard]

Are you kidding me? Lol it stands for artificial intelligence. Not sure when it was created, but from what I understand, it gave machines reasoning abilities in the 90's. Right now, it's like a simplified version of the human brain. And to my knowledge, so far, AI has not achieved true consciousness.

AI is still largely controlled through what the computer is told on how to handle it. If an AI is ever made to give a computer full control over anything, be it a video game to a highly complex system of machines, it could do anything. Being fully conscious, however, is somewhat of a stretch. I don't deny it will happen though.

I like to think that there will be an evolution factor involved. And AI would evolve quicker than humans ever have. And instead of AI being restricted by a system, it would be separate. (if I sound totally retarded, it's because I don't have a huge amount of info on how that all works. Lol) what I mean is that it's telling the system what to do from the outside. Instead of being the worker, be the supervisor.

I think it'll be something like the Matrix. I have a dream to make something like it one day.
(Like that's going to happen. lol :P)

[Valkyrie]

Eh, I love the idea that one day AI will be evolved but I'm sure not by it's own.
Ever seen "I, Robot Movie", that's what I think the future will be like.
Also I sure don't want the future ending up like Matrix, that's some messed up shit lol

AI was initially created with pong!

AI has advanced through different levels up to pacman, then to tetris, then mario, then came final fantasy and now we have advanced AI like in the Hitman Series or in the GTA series.


You're right, AI doesn't have a conscious but the thing with it is as a new game comes out more code gets added into an AI brain. I don't know if AI or computers can ever have a completely random sequence of thoughts and events but in 20 years I suspect that AI can have a huge list of commands and reaction commands

Me personally I would rather see the personal physics of games worked on more than AI structure.

I'd like to see virtual reality and full body motion (more advanced than the move/wii/kinect) and were you can actually fight real people online.

that would be awesome!

My two cents (I swear, most of these are probably wrong, so shut up):

Is the human brain not very much like a machine; a complex series of passages where electricity is passed? Some computers are slower than others, so are humans. But this develops the question:

If computers got more and more complex, closer to the human brain in complexity than modern computers, could they not also develop emotions? Individual thoughts that we view as "Artificial"? Since there is so much we don't even know about the human brain, there may be some deciding factor we haven't found yet that is impossible to implement into computers.

Conclusion:
Possible? Hell yeah.
Likely? Not on your dear Oreo-loving life.
