AI may beat humans at everything in 45 years, experts predict

These experts offer up a possible timescale, and some practical solutions. Every decade since artificial intelligence was first formed as its own discipline in 1956, there's been a prediction that artificial general intelligence (AGI) is just a few years away -- and so far we can safely say that most of them have been shy of the mark. A new survey, conducted by the University of Oxford and Yale University, draws on the expertise of 352 leading AI researchers. It suggests that there's a 50-percent chance that machines will be bettering us at every task by the year 2062. However, plenty more milestones will be hit before then.
