Features: Robot expert Hans Moravec predicts that machine intelligence will reach human levels by 2040 and far surpass humans by 2050. As time progresses, machines will surpass humans, and humans will also be replaced by robots. Regarding this idea of machines ruling the future world, Moravec does not oppose it but instead supports it. Moreover, he proposes an even more shocking viewpoint: intelligent robots are actually the descendants of human evolution. "Intelligent machines grow from us, learn our skills, and share our value standards, and can be seen as the offspring of human thought." Since they are our descendants, of course, we hope they can surpass us. In fact, future people will load themselves into advanced computers, transform their forms, and achieve eternal survival. This book is another major work by Moravec following his bestseller Intelligent Children. In this fascinating book, Moravec details the trajectory of robot development, aiming to provide helpful insights for readers interested in artificial intelligence and computers.
