It occurs rather often that I come across the topic of a technological singularity regarding artificial intelligence. I spend a fair amount of energy considering this, and do think about it regularly.
I honestly believe that once the singularity approaches us, we will also have the capability to improve ourselves. Eventually we will reach the opportunity to act upon our own evolution. I believe this is an inherent part of our survival as a species. If we do not take evolution by control, then we will be doomed to live out the "Terminator" scenario.
If we do not act to directly control our own advancement of our species, we will end up creating something that can overpower us. It is an inevitable part of our being that is built into us, that we strive for continued advancement. If we do not advance along with our creations, we will perish of our own doing.
What we need to discover to create true AI is along the same lines with which we require to further the understanding of our own body and mind. It is with this knowledge (and others) with which we can take hold of our own advancement, and maintain control.
Without this "control", we are doomed to live out extinction via our own doing. We must take the reigns, and move along-side our creations. Otherwise, we will never survive.
