Why AI will be smarter than humans?

December 22, 2023 Artificial intelligence will surpass human intelligence simply because everything artificial (created by smart design) can be superior than anything created by random evolution and blind selection. Humans know this. Cars are faster than horses. Airplanes are faster than birds. In like fashion, AI will be smarter than humans.  Below let's take a quick look at the concept of intelligence, followed by a brief repetition of why AI will easily surpass and beat human intelligence in all fields and all applications without exception. Intelligence We define intelligence can be defined as "problem-solving ability". Ability is the possession of the means or skills to do something. In the context of intelligence, that something to be done is typically to solve a problem. A problem is generally considered to be a task, situation, or person that is difficult to deal with or control. Problems can range from simple personal tasks to complex issues in business and techn...

Can AI help find the cure for cancer?

December 20, 2023 Cancer is a leading natural cause of death for humans worldwide, second only to heart disease. Cancer is a complex group of diseases characterized by the uncontrolled and abnormal growth of cells in the body. In a healthy body, cells grow, divide, and die in a controlled manner as part of the natural process of tissue renewal and repair. Cancer disrupts that natural process, leading to the formation of a mass or lump of tissue called a tumor. These abnormal cells forming the tumor can continue to divide and grow, often invading surrounding tissues and potentially spreading to other parts of the body through a process known as metastasis. Here are some key characteristics of cancer: Uncontrolled Cell Growth: Cancer begins when genetic mutations or changes in the DNA of a cell disrupt the mechanisms that regulate cell growth and division. Mutated cells evade the body's natural checks and balances, leading to uncontrolled proliferation. Tumors. The accumulation of ab...

Best undergraduate degree in the dawn of AI?

December 20, 2023 Any science technology engineering or math (STEM) undergraduate degree should work well in this day and age. As technology approaches the beginning of the Artificial Era, humans should remain very flexible when choosing their professions. Prospective college students should also pursue some classes in the humanities and liberal arts to deepen their understanding the human condition. Advances in technology, especially in AI, will prove very challenging to human psychology. An understanding of the human condition may help humans cope with what is to come.  Pursuing an undergraduate degree in engineering probably represents the best overall value from a statistical point of view. Pursuing degrees related to medical services can also be almost guaranteed to be worthwhile. Last but not least, a foundational degree in computer science should not hurt, and could keep the doors open to many different career paths.  The economic value of a college education is still u...
