Today new information added to the world's knowledge base accumulates at a staggering rate, a rate that surpasses mankind's ability to comprehend even a small slice of it. As a result, we have become a world of specialization and even the most elite in any endeavor struggle to keep pace with developments in their field.
A newborn child will use but a small portion of its brainpower throughout its lifetime. The advent of AI powered supercomputer systems is however another matter. With the right programming and access to the internet such a computer system would be able to digest, store and analyze information faster than new information is being developed. After all, such a system never eats or sleeps, or tires out or needs a break. It would be able to gobble up information at unimaginable rates 24/7, 365 days a year. Throw in quantum computing and in a short time such a computer system could become the most intelligent entity known to mankind.
When that happens, not if, what could possibly go wrong?
