Anyone who thinks artificial intelligence is a long way off should read "The Singularity is Near" by Ray Kurzweil. The graphs from that book are featured on this page -

Technology is growing exponentially. Moore's Law is the most well-known trend, but there are dozens of other examples. The speed, power and price performance of technology is basically doubling every year. This is true for pretty much every area of science - whether it's computing, nanotech, biotech, neuroscience, etc. It's all converging.

According to Ray Kurzweil, we'll have accurate models and simulations of the entire human brain within 15-20 years. That's how fast things are progressing.

That's assuming that true artificial intelligence is ever going to be possible. There are those, such as Roger Penrose, who don't believe that the brains processes are completely algorithmic.

Yeah, I don't think you can claim that human-like intelligence will inevitably be achieved, just by throwing computing power at the problem.

Simple answer tho this : turn their power off !

I thought we already had them in a place called Parliament, where they legislate on these very things ???
