The Future of Humans and AI

Current advances in AI are phenomenal. However, we are still in the beginning of the AI “Industrial Revolution.” We are creating the steam engines of AI that will become the airplanes of the future. Natural Language Processing has become indistinguishable from human speech, art creation has surpassed some of the most advanced artists, protein folding, a 50-year-old problem, has been solved, and many more achievements in AI indicate which way the arrow of progress is pointing towards. What will the future AI look like? How will humans live alongside more powerful intelligences than their own? Is the future bleak or bright?
