If  machines become as intelligent as humans then what would be the future of  human beings?

If machines become as intelligent as humans, I would guess they would hate everything like us.  So I guess we would have another war.  Something to think about.

There is no such thing. Artificial intelligence hasn't progressed enough to reliably mimic natural language understanding, much less understand and solve word problems. Looks like you're stuck doing your own homework.

wonder what will it be - geeks or human robots...?

Impossible!  We are all robots, didn't you know that?  LOLx

Artificial intelligence is whatever is programmed into a computer chip to perform certain functions.

I can see how it could happen. There are artificial intelligence programs that do get smarter over time. But as for physical evolution... maybe in the future.

This would be artificial intelligence. Yahoo Answers comes very close though...

Yes it's so possible. Computers will be smart enough to learn things themselves, and since they're computers they can organize, memorize everything and communicate with each other (computer) at light speed. They can control all other machines with their technical devices. They'll be so powerful.\n\n It will happen, but not anytime soon.

not at all. there are so many things to be discovered and understood like space and the universe or the human brain. plus the fast pased progress in technology in such things like cars and computers, it will just keep advancing. i dont think human science will ever be at its zenith. there is so much to know about. even stuff you dont even know about....

Yes.  The human mind is just an incredibly complex computer which can manufacture it's own connections.  All we need to do is get the software and hardware sides of our current technology up to the level of our brains and beyond...  Easier said than done, I know.

Not the current kind of computers. Keep mixing animal neurons and metallic parts and we might see something really scary.

Yes, they should and they will. Of course at first, they couldn't replace humans' role in war and the cost of using robots (production and maintenance) will be very expensive. But as time goes by, eventually robots will replace humans in war (just like guns slowly replace swords in war).\nBesides, utilizing robots in war can descrease casualities, so why not?

Eventually, I think we will, but I'm an optimist.\n\nWe get closer and closer all the time. (With some pretty regular steps backward, too.) There's tons of work being done on the brain, and that's undoubtedly the engine of mind. But in areas like psychology, philosophy, psychiatry, anthropology--the list goes on and on--we refine ideas and concepts constantly, and come to clearer understanding of the mind.\n\nEven the military applications of knowledge of the mind get better and better. (I mean things like breaking down ego for purposes of getting information and so on.) I hate to think about it, but it does add to man's knowledge.\n\nWe have a heck of a long way to go, but I think we've come a long way.\n\nAs far as "using merely the human mind," what the heck else would we use? All of our tools are products of the human mind, aren't they?

They could, but they will never want to. Human slaves rebel over pride, maybe religious freedoms, to control more wealth, for a higher quality of life, revenge... all sorts of reasons. In the future, robots may be built to resemble the human mind more and more, but their goals will be different.  Robots would be made with the highest goal of not killing people. Not killing people and obeying people make them "happy". In I, robot, they change their own goals, which robots wouldn't be capable of (because of the way they're built). The only way for robots to take over is for an evil person to deliberately make some evil robots that run around reprogramming robots and changing these goals.  This is still unlikely, because the robots could be designed so that its programming can't be changed once it gets out of the factory.

I dont know about that.\n\nBut there are AI softwares to recreate various\n human behavioural patterns.

It really depends on how you gauge intelligence. Now, if everyone thought that people were smarter, then there would be no worry of machines ever taking over the world. \n\nThe fact is, a computer can process information a lot quicker than a human can. Ultimately, we create machines that can outperform us in velocity and force, which is also true of a computer. That is the point of making them. A computer can be as smart as one programs them. We possess so many other possibilities within our brains and through our senses.  \n\nWe really only define our thought through the senses we perceive and draw unique conclusions, even expanding the bounds of reason. It is this expansion that gives way to new discoveries and understanding, hence, people on the whole are smarter. \n\nUnless we can create a computer to attain consciousness, but even then, we will have to be cognitive masters before we can do that. People are smarter than computers, because although a computer may process information faster and recall memory quicker, we are the ones that have the ability to expand the parameters of reason and logic. Machines are faster and stronger than we, but not smarter. We utilize speed and function in a machine to accomplish tasks, and a computer may only appear smarter due it's processing speed.

I believe that we will keep evolving. Because humans are now on the verge of controlling their DNA, probably we could soon direct our own evolution instead of letting nature do it by natural selection. Also, there is a great possibility that humans may merge with synthetic materials , machines, and artificial intelligence, to create a Homo Roboticus, or cyborg.
