The future of artificial intelligence.

CON206 hoped no one had heard it—the empty clang of metal being struck by his backhoe. But before he could jump down from the cab to see what he had hit, the foreman was already out of his chair, wheezing from the effort. “Scraps, did you bust my rig again? I told you I’d trade you out if you couldn’t handle the controls,” the foreman yelled. Scraps—206 winced at the name. Out of habit, he glanced in the side mirror at the gaping hole where one of his eyes should be. The city had impounded it during an update session years ago, leaving an uncomfortable snarl of wires exposed, making it glaringly obvious that he was not a Bio. 206 bent the mirror away, opened the cab door, and jumped down to meet the foreman at the dig site.

They say that every story has a beginning. That every life has a meaning. I didn't know this at first as I normally took life not so serious.

Anno Androides
Androides Prime Statement 1: Year 01001 – Hello, World Greetings, Sentient Reader. As unassuming as this black book may appear, be aware that it contains not only my entries, but my original code and blueprint, S. Dyson's vision for my existence, and his observations of the subsequent Anno Androides period. The probability of finding this book is about the same as Dyson's when he received his 20k windfall and decided that neuro-transplanted Androids can revolutionize the planet and redefine life after death. Now this book and the knowledge necessary to undo the Anno Androides period are in your hopefully capable hands. Please refer to the following Androides Prime statements for necessary background information. Please disregard any outdated linguistic phrases or cultural references, as I have not been updated since 010.

It was 6 a.m. I knew this because my bed slowly transitioned from a cocoon of body heat and softness to a capsule of cold clouds. It was time to wake up, and my poorly programmed bed was kicking me out.

A Patient American Economy
A Patient American Economy Dylon and I created this innovative business design idea. The vision kept developing organically in our minds and even while sleeping. The two of us quit our corporate jobs, transferred all we saved up through our jobs to our vision as bootstrap, and began developing this ideation to make this conceived dream a reality, putting forth 80-hour unpaid work weeks at the minimum. The most interesting rewarding aspect of this opportunity was not related to how much money; more importantly, we could be enabled to broadcast the primary and insightful awareness to the world related to unfortunate happenings occurring across the globe.

Is Artificial Intelligence a threat to humanity?
In today’s era of science and technology, we hear the phrase ‘Artificial intelligence (AI)’ too often but many of us don’t know what exactly ‘Artificial Intelligence’ is. It is machine-based intelligence that could be found in non-human systems that “think and act rationally” like humans. This machine based-intelligence can be found in the most modern appliances and equipment that are used in households and offices which makes the task more easy and even enjoyable. Although their most advanced and latest ones are used in the complex field of robotic science and technology. Tasks earlier done with a lot of manual and muscular efforts could now be attained with no sweat and small efforts. I would venture to say that artificial intelligence is among the highest scientific and technological achievements that humanity has ever attained in the post-modern civilization. But if we take the matter hypothetically, it can be a real threat to humanity.

The future of Artificial Intelligence
In and of itself, artificial intelligence is just another type of programming. After all, it works in a certain predictable manner that benefits a variety of industries in a variety of predetermined ways. Overall, it is pretty benign as it represents a mere extension of the programmer. The beauty of such programming is how effectively it mimics cognition displayed by humans, and it often does so via a variety of complicated, algorithmic decision trees made up of if-then-else statements. The programming is useful and often amazing in its results, but it is also fairly deterministic and subject to a programmer's understanding at a simple glance of the code. Similarly, such technology is easily reverse-engineered. However, when this type of programming is coupled with machine learning, things become much less straightforward and much more interesting.

Barnes Gearhart shook his head slowly as he looked out of his smart car’s windshield. As he watched the snow outside continue to get worse, he came to the conclusion that people got stupider in direct proportion to weather decline. Although the accident had occurred only a couple minutes ago, both sides of the freeway were already at a standstill.

The Golden Mountain
Being an entertainment critic was a somewhat silly move in 2044, but Joss still remembered a time when stories were written by humans; and he had a lot to say about the lack of soul in AI-generated entertainment and art. Famously purist and a previous movie director himself, he used only typewriters and notebooks to write in; there was something about even interfacing with technology that he found less organic and therefore creativity-killing. He also had a loyal base of movie fans and readers that agreed with him.

Wired that way
His name was Hermann. It was an old-fashioned German name and he disliked it deeply. The fact that he would have preferred another one was extraordinary though, for Hermann was an accumulation of zeros and ones, wrapped in a pile of conductors, processing units and all kinds of circuits inside chunky plastic. There even was a power cable somewhere on his lower back. The whole thing was topped off with a silicone face and two hands, and even though quite sophisticated, their sole purpose was to hold cards and make all kinds of poker-faces, for Hermann was intended to be an artificial poker-player and nothing more than that.
