At the top of the =eap right now is artificial intelligence (Al), which has allied itself wit= the technology of robotics. Between them Al and robotics are having a sizable impact on the work force as more=and more jobs get automated. Advocates of Al are both supremely optimistic=and nervous. Both relate to the possibility of a super- intelligent machine=that would far surpass human intelligence. If you are an optimist, this so-called Singularity, as the hypothetical ma=hine is called, would become self-improving.
