Where will the next major advance towards general purpose AI come from?
&gt; We do not know whether it will take 5, 50, or 500 years, but it is likely that we eventually will get there<p>That actually made me laugh, which is appreciated.<p>Seriously, nothing dependent on the continuity of our current civilizational trajectory can be predicted as <i>likely</i> over a horizon of 500 years; which means that it <i>either</i> is likely to happen in 5..50 years, or it isn&#x27;t &quot;likely&quot; at all.<p>Nice article nonetheless.<p>Did it miss finance (algorithmic trading), or is that subsumed somewhere else?
