In an interview with venture capitalist Vinod Khoosla, Google Co-Founder Sergey Brin shared his thoughts on the future of artificial intelligence.
"Obviously, computer scientists have been promising that for decades and not at all delivered. So I think it would be foolish of us to make prognoses about that. But we do have lots of proof points that one can create intelligent things in the world because– all of us around. Therefore, you should presume that someday, we will be able to make machines that can reason, think and do things better than we can."
According to BAE Systems scientists, we could see unmanned, 3D printed drones by 2040. These drones could be created by a 3D printer on-board a larger vehicle, an additive layer and robotic assembly. Other technologies under investigation include self-healing aircrafts, as well as aircrafts that can subdivide into a number of smaller vehicles.
