California: Tesla Motors and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk on a
meeting of tech leaders last week at Rancho Palos Verdes, Calif has asserted
that humans need to implant ‘neural laces’ in their brains to compete with
artificial intelligence and machine learning. Addressing the conference, Musk
also has asserted that AI will make the computers ‘sophisticated and godlike’ while
mankind will struggle to keep up.
California, in this context, heard some science-fiction
like description from Musk, though not for the first time from the business
magnet. Musk described his plans, of an ‘injectable human-computer link’ during
discussion at a conference while publishing his online magazine Recode. While the insistence on
implanting AI continued by Musk, several other tech moguls’ replied that AI is
very likely to affect the daily chores of humankind.
According to a report by Bank Of America, it is now no secret tech companies now are
‘diving’ into AI analytics research to grow $70 billion by 2020 from that of
$8.2 billion in 2013. The report asserted: “AI, which combs through large
troves of raw data to predict outcomes and recognize patterns, is already used
in web search systems, marketing recommendation functions and security and
financial trading programs. The technology will spread to driverless cars and
service robots in the future.”
However, tech magnets like Google, Microsoft Inc. and Apple
Inc. sees artificial intelligence as a great opportunity. Notably, Google
started applying the AI technology first through ‘deep neural networks’ and
introduced voice recognition software some four years ago and is ahead of
industry rivals.
“It’s really early but I think we’re on the edge of a
golden era. It’s going to be so exciting to see what happens,” Amazon CEO Jeff
Bezos asserted. “It’s really early but I think we’re on the edge of a golden
era. It’s going to be so exciting to see what happens,” he said. “Amazon has
been working on artificial intelligence for at least four years and now has
1,000 employees working on Alexa, the company's voice-based smart assistant
software system,” he added.
