1. It is a widely acknowledged fact that machines are stronger than people. Is it
possible for them to become smarter than us too? Some scientists fear that it is, or so
says the theory of technological singularity. In a nutshell, the theory of technological
singularity says that there will be a moment when a computer can improve its own
capabilities. This computer will go into an infinite loop, getting progressively smarter.
Inevitably this will lead to machines becoming smarter than people, or so the theory
goes. Such gains in available intelligence might lead to huge improvements in science
and medicine. Diseases could be cured and such. But it could also lead to the total
domination or replacement of mankind by robots, which would be bad. If the latter were
the case, I, for one, would welcome our new computer overlords.
