Weighing in from the cutting-edge frontiers of science, todayâ€™s most forward-thinking minds explore the rise of â€œmachines that think.â€
Stephen Hawking recently made headlines by noting, â€œThe development of full artificial intelligence could spell the end of the human race.â€ Others, conversely, have trumpeted a new age of â€œsuperintelligenceâ€ in which smart devices will exponentially extend human capacities.
