Computers will be more intelligent than humans within 40 years, according to Intel’s chief technology officer.
Justin Rattner was speaking at the final keynote of the Intel Developer Forum as Intel celebrates its 40th birthday, and he believed that the next 40 years will see the company create true AI.
‘In that time, machines from Intel will surpass human intelligence,’ he was quoted as saying on vnunet.com.
‘And progress in the next 100 years will be more like the progress of the past 20,000 years because of technology.’
Other inventions that the human race can look forward to in this time will be shape-shifting, programmable matter applications that can be controlled with the mind, reported ITPro.
Intel’s short-term goals are slightly less science-fictional, however, with the company signing a deal with Yahoo to enhance how people use their televisions by adding internet applications.
One example of this was a ’snippet bar’ at the bottom of the screen which contained information like weather, news, sports and share prices.
