IS AI OVERHYPED ?

AI is Everywhere.

It is the biggest mega trend since 2017, specifically, as deep learning, deep reinforcement learning, machine learning, big data analytics, smart data, and artificial general intelligence.

“AI technologies will be the most disruptive class of technologies over the next 10 years due to radical computational power, near-endless amounts of data and unprecedented advances in deep neural networks and causal AI”.

In short, AI Technology just follows its hype cycle providing a graphical and conceptual presentation of the maturity of emerging technologies through five phases:

On the Rise

AI Governance Artificial General Intelligence AI Developer Toolkits Knowledge Graphs Neuromorphic Hardware AI-Related C&SI Services Human-in-the-Loop Crowdsourcing Natural-Language Generation Chatbots

Will AI Take Over the World?

There is less and less doubt that AI will take over the world – and that’s the best thing for humanity:

“AI could become the best ever event in the history of human civilization.”

The “AI-world-take-over” is developing in several consistent steps:

  • Artificial Narrow Intelligence (ANI), involving Machine Learning models and Deep Neural Networks,
  • Artificial General Intelligence (AGI), Strong AI,
  • Global AI, Encyclopedic Intelligence, Global Brain, Digital Superintelligence, I-Internet,
  • Hybrid Super Intelligence (HSI), integrating Digital Superintelligence with Human Intelligence.

We start seeing this singularity transition within 5-10 years.

Humanity lives in “Anticipation of the All-Comprehensive Singularity”. 

We might be living in the first and last human era, the Anthropocene, marred by the human-kind causing mass extinctions of plant and animal species, polluting the oceans and altering the atmosphere, and downgrading human natural genetics among other lasting destructive impacts.
