The Development of Artificial Intelligence Continues its Unstoppable Advance

Technological singularity is defined as the point from which a civilization has reached such a technological development that it has no turning back. From that moment on, it will not be possible to predict the direction or the consequences that the advances will have in the future, and many technologists place that point at the moment in which the first Artificial Intelligence or AI becomes aware of itself. The process of creating non-organic intelligence is more complicated than initially thought, since one of the requirements that were traditionally considered infallible to detect authentic AI, the Turing Test, has already been overcome by computer programs that simulate intelligence human. According to Alan Turing, the mathematician who created the test, to pass the Turing Test it is necessary for the program to fool 70% of human beings who talk to it for five minutes. Companies like Amazon are already working intensively through AWS to create machine learning tools for AI, and Bezos's company is certainly not alone.
