A.I. and the Future of Humanity

Overview

With the technological singularity looming upon the horizon, the future of humanity is called into question. Advances in quantum computing paired with artificial intelligence promise a future where the computational mind far exceeds the capabilities of the natural human mind. Is the solution to surviving the singularity, and keeping pace, to integrate the human form with machines? When this happens, our sense of humanity, as we know it, will change forever. The debate has already begun as to positive and negative effects we face concerning our place in the post-singularity world.
