Explain the future of AI

From SIRI to self-driving cars, artificial intelligence (AI) is advancing rapidly. While science fiction often depicts AI as robots with human-like features, AI can include anything from Google's search algorithms to IBM's Watson to autonomous weaponry. Artificial intelligence now is well known as narrow AI (or weak AI), in that it is intended to perform a small task like facial recognition or internet searches. However, the long-term goal of various researchers is to produce general AI. While narrow AI may beat humans at whatever its particular task is, like playing chess or answering equations, AGI would beat humans at approximately all cognitive tasks.
