• Question: @Melanie you work with artificial intelligence right? Do you ever think that technology would be able to have the same calibre as the human brain? And if so, would robots ever be able to replace the human race?

      Hi Urwah M,

      I indeed do work with AI! 🙂

      Some researchers claim that we could have an “artificial brain” by 2020-2025, if it is assumed that computing power will continue to grow exponentially.

      We definitely have to be careful in what we do – it could happen at some point, but there is still a lot to learn for robots in terms of common sense, vision, language and how our world actually works before they can replace the human race. And if they ever should be close to eliminating us – we can just use cybernetic (body) parts! 😉
