By 2029, Computers Will Have Emotional Intelligence

We're Democratizing The Tools Of Creativity.

Science Fiction Is The Great Opportunity To Speculate On What Could Happen. It Does Give Me, As A Futurist, Scenarios.

My View Is That Consciousness, The Seat Of "personalness," Is The Ultimate Reality, And Is Also Scientifically Impenetrable. In Other Words, There Is No Scientific Test One Can Postulate That Would Definitively Prove Its Existence In Another Entity. We Assume That Other Biological Human Persons, At Least Those Who Are At Least Acting Conscious, Are Indeed Conscious. But This Too Is An Assumption, And This Shared Human Consensus Breaks Down When We Go Beyond Human Experience (e.g., The Debate On Animal Consciousness, And By Extension Animal Rights).

Even By Common Wisdom, There Seem To Be Both People And Objects In My Dream That Are Outside Myself, But Clearly They Were Created In Myself And Are Part Of Me; They Are Mental Constructs In My Own Brain.

I'm Working On Artificial Intelligence. Actually, Natural Language Understanding, Which Is To Get Computers To Understand The Meaning Of Documents.
