Apple gave us Siri, Microsoft gave us Cortana, Amazon gave us Alexa, Google

Google’s AlphaGo artificial neural network made headlines last year when it
bested a world champion at Go. After marvelling at this feat, Giuseppe
Carleo of ETH Zurich in Switzerland thought it might be possible to build a
similar machine-learning tool to crack one of the knottiest problems in
quantum physics.

and complete AI at the January 2017 Asilomar conference organized by the
Future of Life Institute.

The rise of driverless cars and trucks is just a start. New AI techniques
are poised to reinvent everything from manufacturing to healthcare to Wall
Street. In other words, it’s not just blue-collar jobs that AI endangers.

Elon Musk stated that updates regarding his neural lace, which is meant to
augment the human mind, are coming next month. In October, Bryan Johnson
announced a $100 million investment to put computers in our brains. And so,
a race is on to hack human intelligence.
