How AI makes better people

This has been the life work of neuroscientist and entrepreneur Dr Vivienne Ming, who spoke at the SingularityU South Africa Summit, in Johannesburg last week. The summit focused on how exponential technologies can solve global challenges such as energy, security, prosperity and global health. Ming spoke about artificial intelligence (AI) and the future of human potential. She said while currently there is no AI that can think like a sentient human, it is not impossible that it will be created in the future. However, she noted it will not come from deep neural networks.
