Intelligent machines are still far off in the future, how far is anyone’s guess but the reality is the concept is being worked on. There’s much debate on intelligent machines, otherwise known as “artificial intelligence,” and whether or not creating such things is wise. On one hand the benefits of intelligent machines could have a massively positive impact on the well being of some of the populace. On the other hand those same machines could cause hardship for others in the populace through job loss and replacement. Jeff Hawkins delivered a thirty minute presentation on what it will take to create intelligent machines and no matter what side of the fence you sit on, it is worth watching. Take a look below.
