Artificial Intelligence

      In 1950 Alan Turing developed a test for determining if computing machines can be considered intelligent. While this may not fit any person's full definition of intelligence if a computer program can convince a human in a simple conversation even once that they were the same it is no longer a title only living things can be measured by.
     Some top minds in the world of science like Elon Musk, and Stephen Hawking have warned about the threats AI pose to humanity. The extents of human intelligence is already shown as dangerous and disastrous. What is so scary about artificial intelligence is how powerful and fast moving it is. Most computers can respond to a mouse click faster than a human mind can. So when computers can communicate with intelligence in the same way they do with their peripherals it will all happen way faster than humans can respond. In the same way the theory that only when and if time travel becomes possible the past and future will be completely changed in that new reality; the creation of truly intelligent self aware machines will be so groundbreaking with no going back. With the amount of our infrastructure that now relies on computer systems that as previously shown can get hacked and cause massive damage such as the uranium enrichment site shut down by a US created virus. If AI decides its in our or their best interest to spread and shut down our infrastructure it could happen before we could even notice or stop it with processing and bandwidth speeds and the current lack of safeguards.
      What we choose to do in the future is up to us... for now.
