Humans will not be the main decision makers anymore

May 20, 2015
Will human minds and artificial intelligence finally be able to merge? What is singularity?

"I have no doubt that in a few decades there will be a moment in time where humans will not be the main decision makers anymore. Time will not stop of course, as it will continue as always. However there will be some sort of rupture in human history, where it has been dominated by humans for at least 40 000 years." says Jürgen Schmidhuber.

Jürgen Schmidhuber, guest via Skype in Crosstalks on Artificial Intelligence, is Professor in Artificial Intelligence, Scientific director at the Swiss AI Lab IDSIA.
