I don’t think AI will ever become truly self conscious or “sentient”, as AI is merely a library of human knowledge. A programmed helper, an assistant. It only appears to be intelligent because we program it to be. Now, I am not detracting from the brilliant achievements of AI and the exponential growth that we have seen over the start of the 21st century, only observing its innate limitations. As always, excellent video, Lex.,(reply>), Jack you Noob, you know nothing,(reply>), For this to be true you would have to justify your initial assumption: "AI is merely a library of human knowledge". What if the AI starts programming itself independently? At that point, it will create "new knowledge" on its own and for itself.
