Synthetic Super Intelligence and the Transmutation of Humankind

Synthetic Super Intelligence and the Transmutation of Humankind
Fig. 10-6: Robots can now communicate with each other across a “cloud network” and give each other
directions.
For now, however, scientists don’t call the central brain the Super
Brain; they call it RoboBrain. 282 283 The only obstacle right now, in order to
develop AI that can freely communicate through this network, is computer
power, according to scientists, and this is something they are working hard
on at this point. According to Dr. Kurzweil, however, computer power and
computer technology have increased exponentially over only a decade or
two and will continue doing so. Hence, Dr. Kurzweil is not the least
concerned about whether they are going to have enough computer power
(memory/speed) to accomplish the Singularity; that’s not even a minor
concern.
Nicholas West ends his article at Techswarm.com with the following
reflection:
Clearly a full-spectrum approach is being taken in the development of
robotic intelligence. The only question that seems to remain is what is the
