9 – The AI Revolution: The Road to Superintelligence

I vividly remember reading this explainer back in early 2015. It completely changed my perspective on artificial intelligence. It turned AI from a vague outlook with strong sci-fi vibes into something tangible that we’re about to witness within our lifetimes. A lot remains to be seen – even now with the massive leaps forward since that article was written – but it lays out a clear path of how things might exponentionally move from Siri and Watson to superintelligent computers and immortality (or extinction). An eye-opening two-part series.
