This is an interview with DeepMind founder Demis Hassabis PhD.

DeepMind founder Demis Hassabis on how AI will shape the future. Beating Go was just the start — DeepMind has designs on healthcare, robots, and your phone

"DeepMind’s stunning victories over Go legend Lee Se-dol have stoked excitement over artificial intelligence’s potential more than any event in recent memory. But the Google subsidiary’s AlphaGo program is far from its only project — it’s not even the main one. As co-founder Demis Hassabis said earlier in the week, DeepMind wants to “solve intelligence,” and he has more than a few ideas about how to get there.

Hassabis himself has had an unusual path to this point, but one that makes perfect sense in retrospect. A child chess prodigy who won the Pentamind championship at the Mind Sports Olympiad five times, he rose to fame at a young age with UK computer games developers Bullfrog and Lionhead, working on AI-heavy games like Theme Park and Black & White, and later forming his own studio, Elixir. Hassabis then left the games industry in the mid-2000s to complete a PhD in neuroscience before co-founding DeepMind in 2010."

So does this mean Skynet is only a few years away? Only to be closely followed by the terminators?

....and don't misunderstand.....I still think it's really cool stuff....

I'm not sure if skynet and the terminators but it has been a long time since I suspected that either the machines become sentient and replace humans as the best hunter on earth or we become machines ourselves.
I don't know how long until it happens but I'm reasonably sure that it will. I hope it's the second and I live to see it.
