On a serious note though, with the growing capacity of self-aware, self-improving machines, maybe it’s a touch normal to be afraid. That’s what Matt Miller of the Washington Post seems […]
Google and NASA are joining forces to create and study Artificial Intelligence. This new breed of super computer could change everything. The Quantum Computer will be programmed to behave like a human and make decisions based on the data it is provided with.
