Most engineers and musicians of a certain age know and respect the futurist Ray Kurzweil who is now a Google AI thought leader. I was struck by this quote from his latest book The Singularity is Nearer:
Any kind of skill that generates clear enough performance feedback data can be turned into a deep-learning model that propels AI beyond all humans’ abilities.
Think about that. Humans are remarkably adept at working with limited information and that will continue to be one of our key differentiators for some time. But, as we continue to deploy sensors and collect data everywhere about everything (e.g., IoT), that telemetry will be used sooner or later to replace humans with AI.
