A.I. Expert: Artificial Intelligence Will Be 'Billions of Times' Smarter than Humans - Breitbart

CNBC reports that speaking on a panel organized by CNBC at the World Government Summit in Dubai, Ian Pearson of Futurizon commented on the issues that may arise around artificial intelligence. "The fact is that AI can go further than humans, it could be billions of times smarter than humans at this point," said Pearson. "So we really do need to make sure that we have some means of keeping up." Pearson continued, "The way to protect against that is to link that AI to your brain so you have the same IQ… as the computer. I don't actually think it's safe, just like Elon Musk… to develop these superhuman computers until we have a direct link to the human brain… and then don't get way ahead."
