With the Hollywood blockbuster Transcendence playing in cinemas, with Johnny Depp and Morgan Freeman showcasing clashing visions for the future of humanity, it's tempting to dismiss the notion of highly intelligent machines as mere science fiction. But this would be a mistake, and potentially our worst mistake in history.

The “fragmented” coordination between relief actors in the Philippines following Typhoon Haiyan last month underscores the need for artificial intelligence to streamline disaster response, says a team behind such an effort.

Talk about a fundamental Reinvention! The arrival of Artificial Intelligence could reinvent what it is to be human, to be employed. As we shift many kinds of work, even knowledge work, to machines, we might ultimately need to rethink economic distribution and the social compact among citizens. Join +Kevin Kelly , the founding executive editor of Wired magazine, as we focus this roundtable on this important initial question: What is the early path of commercialization for Artificial Intelligence? In other words, what will be AI's first killer apps? This will be where regular people initally encounter AI. Let's get a handle on this powerful enabling technology now.

While futurist Ray Kurweizel and Moore’s Law gets all the headlines, over the years there has been a lot of interesting research and creative thought given to the idea of technological innovation and its implications on the need for human involvement in complex decision-making. In the era of Big Data, when social networks capture our conversations, likes and ideas like never before and sensor networks, or the Internet of Things, indexes more of the world around us, the fastest systems have access to more of the raw fuel, in zettabytes of new data, needed to make increasingly more complex decisions. But, does that mean smart systems will soon replace human decision-making?

To this, I say "meh."
What have humans done with our current biological brains but make a gigantic mess of our planet without having the sense to even acknowledge and clean up after ourselves?

Good riddance to bad rubbish.
Think about it.
