Popular Science poses ten good questions they would like to ask this future theoretical artificial intelligence.

Perhaps we’ve been spoiled by science fiction, but we tend to assume that intelligent machines will want something to do with us – either destroy/enslave us (the “Terminator” and “The Matrix”) work with us as partners (“Star Trek,” “Aliens”) or be used to serve us as, essentially, robot slaves (“Star Wars”). One of the more interesting points PopSci brings up is, if a super-intelligent machine is created, will we be able to relate to it? What if the nature of its intelligence is absolutely foreign to us?

I hope that one day within my lifetime humans can use AI to exponentially increase technological development in a relatively short period of time, which will theoretically lead to incredible advancements that will greatly enhance human lives. However, there’s always the chance that a super-intelligent AI will want nothing to do with helping us solve our problems. Can we play God and create them “in our own image?” Time will tell.
