It’s probably a world full of artificially intelligent machines re-enacting every possible scenario that science fiction has presented to us. Students in the 23rd century might study the history of artificial intelligence in a computer science course, scoffing at our nascent machine learning algorithms just as we scoff at the ENIAC. But just as the ENIAC…
