I doubt the ability of intelligence researchers to ultimately retain predictive capability of a self-correcting algorithm. If it is sufficiently powerful enough to be considered able to learn, the complexity embodied in even simple biological creatures shows the inherent inscrutable nature of complex systems. I was stunned that Valiant seems to really believe a complex learning-capable system would continue to remain under human control. Though I am optimistic that we will continue increasing our capacity to control these types of systems (the Human Genome Project blew everyone away with their rapid advancements, so did Google&#x27;s recent Go successes, etc), I am not so quick to jump to the conclusion that we will remain dominant of them in perpetuity.
