the coming Artilect War,do you agree?

the issue of species dominance will dictate our globle politics this century.Given the rate at which technologies are developing that "artilects"-artificial intellects-it's likely that humanity will be able to build artilects with mental capabilities that are literally trillions upon trillions of times above human level.Humanity will then have to choose whether to become the no.2species on the planet or not?will the robot take over human? by the year 2030,one of the world's biggest industries will be "artificial brain",used to control home robots that will genuinely intelligent and useful.millions,of people will be prepared to spend more money on a househould robot than a car.you may object that a massive bit-processing rate is only a necessary condition for generating hyper-intelligence.agreed,what is also need is the appropriate human brain-like neural circuitry,but this is coming too.Nanotechnology,or molecalar scale engineering,is increasingly supplying to tools to decipher the secrects of human brain function.today thanks to HenriMarkram's work in Swizerland,every neural connection is know in a single cortical column of a rat brain's cortex.a rat has about a thousand such columns,each consistingof about 10000 highly interconnected neurons,and human brain contains about a million.following Moore's law,the whole rat brain will be thus simulated within a decade and the human brain a decade or two later. can the machine become smarter than humans?should there be a legislated upper limit to machine intelligence? the topic come from Dr.Huge de Garis,the director of the artificial brain lab,in the school of Information and Technology at xiamen University,xiamen,FUjian Province,where he directing the building of china's first artificial brain.
