AI comes up a lot but in my opinion there is no guarantee that it will ever actually exist.
AI is by definition is artificial and the lines between artificial and non-artificial will be blurred very soon as BCIs come around.
If we take all deceased people's brains and throw them in a pool of goop that allows them to talk to each other and connect them to a BCI so that they can communicate with the rest of the world, is that Artificial Intelligence?
I predict that we will have ultra-intelligent humans/transhumans and advanced AI might or might not ever come into existence.
As expected, DARPA is leading most of the BCI research programs at the moment. I'm not sure how I feel about Super Soldiers and modifying humans, that's a huge topic in itself.
