Probably a little overblown, yeah, but this stuff is interesting to me. We continue on down the road to a point where humans themselves will be obsolete. I hope our robot overlords will be kind to us. Maybe they'll make a huge zoo for us to live in peacefully.

We might already be living in a huge zoo and just don't know it.  The conditions here are somewhat similar.

That blows my mind.

It’s going to take us a healthy dollop of faith in technology to accept autonomous vehicles at some point on our roadways. But what about in our skies? The thought of robot-driven planes ferrying hundreds of people overhead to their destinations conjures images of metal, fire, and passengers raining down from the skies. Still, proponents of such systems believe autonomous transport of all kinds, including commercial flight, will be less prone to error when humans are removed from the equation. Once the bugs have been worked out, of course.

The U.S. military believe automated aircraft may improve mission safety and success rates, and their Defense Advanced Research Agency, or DARPA, has just announced the successful simulated flight and landing of a Boeing 737 by an AI-driven robot co-pilot named ALIAS. “ALIAS” is an acronym for “Aircrew Labor In-Cockpit Automation System.”

The progress in AI and machine learning has been so rapid that scientists have upped the estimate for the 'singularity' to happen in 2029 from 2040, shaving off 11 years of development time, says Shane Wall, Chief Technology Officer at HP, who also heads the HP Labs which is at the centre of innovation within the company.

Make the most of the next decade folks.
