Deus Ex Machina, Unlocking Pandora’s Artificial Box
GNR part 4: Robotics with Strong AI
As a fellow believer of the acceleration of technology and fan of esteemed futurist Ray Kurzweil, I will be writing a 4-part series on his predictions on GNR (Genetics, Nanotechnology, and Robotics) and how they stand today. This is part 4 of 4, enjoy!
Of the 3 technological revolutions that could bring on the Singularity, GNR. The R, Robotics, is by far the most profound. A convergence between code and metal that will inherently outperform its predecessors.

There’s often a dystopian tone placed on a robotic future, but it has yet to be proven how this future will come about. In fact, no one knows, hence The Singularity.
Do we want to open the box?
Machines can pool in resources in ways that humans cannot. Collaboration & competition have given humanity the ability to transcend our biological intelligence. This…
