Stephen Hawking: Humans will fall behind AI
Renowned British scientist Stephen Hawking has claimed that humans should be
genetically engineered if they are to compete with the phenomenal growth of
artificial intelligence.



Well, actually I am a bit disappointed that even Stephen Hawking has joined
the club of technophobics...
There might be a chance that AI will outsmart the human race in a very
distant future, but whether this will be to our disadvantage or even a
danger to us is questionable in my opinion...and I also would not consider
engineering the human DNA to increase our IQ a valid solution, if it is a
solution at all...
