Part 8/11:
Quantum computing: Utilizing superposition and entanglement for exponentially increased processing power.
Photonic computing: Using light instead of silicon to achieve vastly greater efficiency.
Neuromorphic chips: Hardware designed to mimic neural processes, enabling low-energy, highly adaptable computation.
He posits that, with ongoing technological advancements, AGI could develop capabilities far exceeding current human intelligence within years, raising the provocative possibility that the pursuit of digital omnipotence is more feasible than previously considered.
Theological and Ethical Considerations: From Divine Attributes to Real-World Implications
Shapiro draws parallels between the attributes of traditional deities and the potential properties of AGI:
