A man-made power island in the middle of the North Sea that could supply electricity for 80 million people, a robot that could read your mind and spot you noticing it made a mistake, and a DNA-based computer that grows as it computes? Go figure!
 

 

This Is What We Call A Power Island!

With AI, Answers Are Cheap, But Questions Are The Future

Kevin Kelly
March 06, 2017

We’re getting reliable, instant answers from machines thanks to advancements in artificial intelligence. But if knowledge is growing exponentially because of scientific tools, then we should be running out of puzzles. Instead we keep discovering greater unknowns. In the future, questions will be more valuable than answers. Author and Wired’s “Senior Maverick” Kevin Kelly predicts our biggest questions are yet to come.

A huge neuron that wraps around the brain like a “crown of thorns” could hold a key to consciousness, artificial synapses could lead to brain-like computers, and solid-state batteries could revolutionize how we store energy. We are so charged up about science that we turned this week's column into a podcast on GE Reports Radio. Listen to it and don’t forget to subscribe!
