FORESEEABLE FUTURES - THE FUTUROLOGY PODCAST

In this episode Erwin discusses recent scientific advancements of brain implants allowing paralyzed patients to control artificial limbs. Kyle discusses the discovery of room temperature superconductors and the cost of solar and wind becoming cheaper than coal…and Mike rains on the optimism highlighting increasing levels of toxic waste building in the Earth’s oceans.

Kyle, Mike and Dr. Erwin discuss recent developments in Artificial Intelligence. First, in a government DARPA project, an AI-controlled fighter jet recently defeated a human pilot in a flight simulator dogfight. How close are we to seeing fully autonomous fighter jets in the battlespace? Are we looking towards a future where war is fought entirely by the robots?
