Just to shake you guys up a bit, it's not the survival of the fittest we need to worry about. According to Stephen Hawking, it's survival of the most intelligent - man VS. machine: Physicist Warns Humans About A.I. By Associated Press September 1, 2001, 3:37 PM EDT BERLIN -- People get ready: the machines are coming. That's the word from famed British physicist Stephen Hawking, who says if humans hope to compete with the rising tide of artificial intelligence, they'll have to improve through genetic engineering. In an interview released Saturday with the newsmagazine Focus, Hawking said science could increase the complexity of DNA and "improve" human beings. He conceded that it would be a long process, "but we should follow this road if we want biological systems to remain superior to electronic ones." "In contrast with our intellect, computers double their performance every 18 months," he added. "So the danger is real that they could develop intelligence and take over the world." newsday.com
