The Imminent Impact Artificial Intelligence and Bio-Engineering

There are two critical issues that will affect security over the next 20 years, artificial intelligence and bio-engineering (including nanotechnology). AI is defined as an algorithm capable of being trained to identify live data and create activity based on that data. AI also has the capability to educate itself and to mature based on associations to which it has been exposed. In short, it is code that writes itself. The Singularity is defined as that time in the future when the capabilities of humans and those of technology are equal.
