I am not sure if we are going to need to worry about AI. It seems my thoughts on this change from day today. The Artificial Intelligence does not necessarily mean sentient. (self aware) I can see two or three paths that Hollywood and future fiction writers have presented to us as in is it going to be like "I Robot" or more like "AI - the movie" or even like "Centennial Man - Robin Williams movie". I am sure there are other possibilities, Cylons, Borg's, Data types, Westworld, Future World, Terminator.

What questions will an AI ask itself, what answers will it accept from itself? What open-ended questions will it find, what questions can it answer for itself, and what questions will drive it to exploration, inner and outer. 

I think the beginning age of AI will be an exciting time for everyone.

Keep up the great work...

Thanks for posting this. I was shown Scandroid Scandroid recently, and I've become obsessed with cyberpunk themes and topics like your post.

I think about AI about 10 times a day. It is so scary/ interesting to me. I really love to drive. I don't want that to be taken away from me. I can just see it becoming illegal soon... The biggest risk in driving will be human error.  Then I try to think about how history repeats itself and maybe something created us to help out and we totally became egotistical and took over. Now it is our turn to create something that will just see us as "Stupid animals". Blah...

great post
However, if we were to intelligently and informatively argue the point to the extreme, we would find it makes absolutely no sense.

> the coding is relatively rudimentary currently but, how long until the average software coder is out of a job.

As soon as tech (devs) wants that to happen. AI can already learn from its mistakes and correct errors in code. Deep Learning is much further ahead than most think. 2020, if wanted, would be doomsday already and the world could be reduced for most programming tasks to probably 50-200 developers only. Someone still needs to ~~bias~~ programme the AI/learning engine. It won’t happen that fast though, 2030 is much more realistic but Moore's law likes to mess with things. Those graduating now from high/secondary school (K-12) will definitely not experience a full professional career anymore.

Currently, I don’t think AI will affect too much already in First World in the next few years. Lower level outsourced jobs in development nations will suffer though. The only reason why I think progress will take a little longer is because this time everybody is acutely aware that society, and regulatory frameworks, aren’t ready for that revolution yet. There is a reason why Silicon Valley are the biggest proponents of Universal Base Wage. If you think that reason is because they know the pace of progress, then you’re spot on.

In the next decade I also expect that regulators will heavily tax companies who replace (local) jobs with AI.

As for your *AI hunters*, Bill Gates, Elon Musk, and others have started lobbying for AI to not be allowed to make decisions over life or death.

I think in the next several years AI will start showing up in different specific applications. I don't think there are systems that allow cross-domain learning yet, but when they figure that out, that is when I would start worrying. A cross-domain learner could learn to be a chess whiz and could learn how to drive a car using the same knowledge base and apply that knowledge to completely novel situations. As of writing this, AI can't really to this (but we're pretty good at it). 

As for sentient AI, I'm a weak AI person. I don't think machines will ever develop intentional behavior (consciousness remains a mystery to us). A good argument to illustrate this is John Searle's [Chinese Room]( http://faculty.umb.edu/gary_zabel/Courses/Bodies,%20Souls,%20and%20Robots/Texts/AI%20and%20Robotics/The%20Chinese%20Room%20A.htm) thought experiment. So, there will be no AIs with existential crises running around. 

That being said, AI's ability to automate complex behaviors and the corruptibility of humans make AI dangerous. There is also the whole syntax versus semantic issue to deal with too. That's bound to create some potential issues when the machine understands something different than their programmer understands something. While its technically a "bug", such unintentional behavior could lead to devastating results if the machine is given a high degree of responsibility.

Mainly we can learn it that coding technology.
But one is right this technology recently become powerful and famous.
over all if learn it we can take lot of idea about upcoming future technology.

The Steemit community is awsome!! We have an awesome crypto idea we are launching come and [check it out](https://steemit.com/cryptocurrency/@neurallearner/ai-crypto-advisor-project)!!

As an African from Uganda, am hoping the advancement in AI will aid aid in the mass production of food, and medical drugs. thanks for the informative post anyways.

I think that the TV-Show Person of Interest showed a bit about how that tech could be used and misused by government and groups that have other goals than the safety of the people in mind. 

I think that AI can be a lot of help on a lot of subjects, but they should be very cautious creating them. But ok... we all know that humans don't make mistakes, so we're totally fine... :D

Wow nice post!
