Artificial Intelligence, narrow or weak AI, is here, and will get exponentially smarter, strong or general AGI. It’s already operating the financial markets, it knows what you browse, it’s watching you at almost all times. You probably had interaction with some sort of intelligent machine today that made your life easier. It is said AGI would outperform humans at nearly every cognitive task. Without delving into the dangers of AGI, such systems could potentially undergo recursive self-improvement, triggering an intelligence explosion leaving human intellect far behind. The implications of such revolutionary technologies, such as super-intelligence, if aligned with our goals, could feasibly replace pilots, controllers, etc. A super-intelligent AI network of controllers and aircraft doesn't seem far fetched after all, not in this century.
