The future of artificial intelligence.
Will It Be Possible?
There is never telling what's in store for future discoveries, so we need big thinkers. Before electricity, people never would have thought of what we could be doing now. I've read things about wireless electricity and floating cities in the upcoming future. Being able to grow organs, this would allow the possibility for immortality. From what I've seen humans do in my short 27-year life, I wouldn't put it past them.

Are We in a Chinese Room?
Philosophy is one of the things that I think truly makes humans, well, human. It goes beyond simply having a consciousness, instead, it leads to us questioning what consciousness even is. How do we truly know that what we are experiencing right now is truly us?

Life and Production: S2 E10: The Fire of His Intellect
Cases With the Prohibition of psychoactive and narcotics and hallucinogens lifted; with the liberation of prescription drugs introduced, problems persisted still. Trevor Lesane aimed to solve such issues. It was not some “miracle” dreamed up from some mystical fantasy. No. Mr. Trevor Lesane developed DACA to combat the growing numbers of addicts. He intended to produce a substance which would treat even the most devastated of cases. He sat there not at his laboratory with his pristine, white laboratory coat. Now, he donned a three-piece-suit including platinum and diamond cufflinks and tie clip. The blue-green display of figures drove Lesane to shut down the digital projector. His determination, his will allowed him to continue with his work despite the number of problems that arose.

The Race
"Today, the Alpha project surpasses the Beta 2.0, as the United Global Fronts chief A.I. Despite protest from the people's front of global unity Alpha will, unlike its predecessor, not only connect the global residential districts, it will for the first time link all districts to relevant special response units and help regulate all known registered generating districts. This will, our lords say, create a global link, allowing automatous control of everything the general consumerist will need. Security, health, comfort and care will all be handled by Alpha who will simultaneously help Beta 2.0 to share this workload while also improving its systems. In other informative insights..…."

Can Robots Take Over the World?
Can robots take over the world? Well if you think of it in a big picture, robots can take over the world. But if you look very closely, you could see that robots could not take over the world. Well, it depends on how the future goes down. With the technology we have now, it is possible that robots could grow into something great. Here are reasons why robots could not take over the world:

Digital Data on DNA: Could It Be the Answer to Building "Perfect Humans?" Would That Make Us Cyborgs or Something Else?
Back in 2012, Harvard scientists "broke" the DNA code that allowed them to store an immense amount of data (such as movies) on non-biological DNA. "Non-biological" is the key term in that sentence. This process can store data that amounts to an unfathomable amount known as an "exabyte" (one billion gigabytes). While there is not a whole lot of information out yet as to what the price tag looks like to use DNA for data storage on a massive scale, I would imagine it would be less than the cost of storing a Yottabyte's worth of information on traditional hard drives. In order to do that, one would need a data center this size of Delaware and Rhode Island at the cost of nearly $100 TRILLION. So, it stands to reason that with the amount of digital data humans are creating, we MUST move away from magnetic storage. It is neither economically feasible nor practical to consume precious resources required to store that much data when DNA can store 107 times the amount of magnetic tape.
