At his keynote during the Intel Developer Forum this week in San Francisco, Intel’s chief technology officer Justin Ratter speculated that machines might catch up with human reasoning capabilities by the year 2050, and that Intel is already examining future human/machine interfaces and what improvements to machine reasoning and ability to sense the physical world might have in store for humanity.
“The industry has taken much greater strides than anyone ever imagined 40 years ago,” Rattner said. “There is speculation that we may be approaching an inflection point where the rate of technology advancements is accelerating at an exponential rate, and machines could even overtake humans in their ability to reason.”
