The coming Post-Human Age

Todd, yes, AI (Artificial Intelligence) is not yet able to cope with the complexity of reality.

However, your humble servant is reading Mark Steyn's 2011 book After America. In it he provides scenarios about the future, 2020-2050.

He terms the future the "post-human" age because AI-based robotics will more and more replace people. His argument is demographics show a declining birth rate as the population ages. To provide the caregivers for the seniors will require automation of such care.

Enter AI (Artificial Intelligence) driven robots! Imagine!
