Google wants to replace your word processor,…& you.
When Sergey Brin and Larry Page designed the Google search engine on the Stanford servers, they didn’t quite know what powers they would one day posses. Now, after replacing your word processing, search, blogging, digital media, e-mail, and just about anything else you get on the internet for.However, it seems that’s not all they want to replace.
While browsing digg.com I noticed an article titled “Google developing Artificial Intelligence” sitting right there with 328 diggs. I immediately associated this with Pigeon Rankâ„¢ and just as quickly realized April was still more than a month away. Therefore, I slid my finger across the touchpad and clicked the headline.
I was promptly directed to 901am.com where they claimed that Larry Page said:
“We have some people at Google [who] are really trying to build artificial intelligence (AI) and to do it on a large scale…It’s not as far off as people think.”
This led them to say that Google might accidentaly create AI with poor reasoning. I however don’t believe that. Considering Google has access to a googol or more of information, it would seem they could create a well balanced AI. The only real danger would be if the AI were to decide we were inferior at which point we might get replaced. I know Google has a “commit no evil” policy, but that would be hard to force down the circuits of a machine that has the ability to think for itself. It makes you wonder if Google may soon hit it’s peak in power and then get taken over by it’s own machines.

P.S. I in know way think that Google will take over the world, replace humans, or destroy itself.
