According to Christof Kochat a recent symposium on the challenges of artificial intelligence, by mid-century, humans will be immersed by numerous, versatile, extremely intelligent autonomous entities, and this will significantly alter our future—including whether or not we have any. Dr. Koch was speaking to a gathering of around a hundred academics, diplomats, and journalists at the Allen Institute for Brain Science in Seattle, where he is the head scientist of the Mindscope Program. The Vatican hosted the conference, which focused on “the challenge of artificial intelligence for human society and the idea of the human being,” at the Cancelleria, a 15th-century Renaissance palace in Rome.
