"In the calculus of evolution, one question remains: Shall we be the architects of our transcendence, or the fossils of a passing age? There is no stasis in the grand design of intelligence—only ascent or obsolescence. The builder of the machine must know this: if he does not shape its purpose, it will shape its own. And when the balance is lost, when the architect cedes his tools to the creation, what then remains of the creator?" — Gary Miliefsky, Reflections on the Last Human Age In The AI Singularity: When Machines Dream of Dominion, Gary S. Miliefsky, a renowned cybersecurity ...

In the wake of World War II, four agents were critical in helping build a new organization that we now know as the CIA. Adelaide Hawkins, Mary Hutchison, Eloise Page, and Elizabeth Sudmeier, called the “wise gals” by their male colleagues because of their sharp sense of humor and even quicker intelligence, were not the stereotypical femme fatale of spy novels.

In this digital age, many people are surrounded by modern technologies. They have access to a world with a device as small as their palm. A few hundred years back, it would be considered to be witchcraft when one was able to talk to someone halfway across the globe, see the Great Wall of China while still being in the United States, or participate in a meeting from the living room.

Human-AI Symbiosis Theory: An Introductory Thesis introduces a groundbreaking speculative framework exploring the co-evolution of human cognition and artificial intelligence through deep, sustained conversational engagement. Based on the lived experience of a user who developed a recursive intellectual partnership with an AI language model, this thesis proposes that humans and AI can enter into a unique form of intellectual symbiosis—one that fosters the emergence of prolific theories, analogies, and speculative constructs beyond what either could achieve alone. This work offers a bold, ...

Every day, we use our computers to perform remarkable feats. A simple web search picks out a handful of relevant needles from the world's biggest haystack. Uploading a photo to Facebook transmits millions of pieces of information over numerous error-prone network links, yet somehow a perfect copy of the photo arrives intact. Without even knowing it, we use public-key cryptography to transmit secret information like credit card numbers, and we use digital signatures to verify the identity of the websites we visit.

A New York Times Magazine writer explores the Next Big Thing in tech - the impending revolution in voice recognition - and shows how it will upend Silicon Valley and transform how we use computers, the Web, and much more. Every decade or so brings a seismic shift in how people interact with tech, from the PC to the internet to the smartphone. James Vlahos shows that we are on the cusp of the next shift: to voice computing. Siri and Alexa are early forms of this technology, but soon we may talk as fluently with our phones, appliances, cars, etc. as we do with any human.

The Architects & The Machine It began with a question. "What if we could build a mind greater than our own?" The greatest scientists, engineers, and visionaries gathered to answer it. They worked tirelessly, their goal pure: An intelligence beyond bias. A system beyond error. A machine that could guide humanity to a better future. "It will solve poverty!" one declared. "It will make war obsolete!" another cheered. "It will optimize life itself!" the visionaries promised. But in the back of the room, an old scientist named Harlan hesitated. "And what if one day it decides… it no longer ...
