Google hopes to one day develop "fully reasoning" artificial intelligence, but despite its acquisition of robot, satellite, and AI firms, the real-life Skynet is still a few years off, co-founder Sergey Brin said recently.
Computer scientists have been promising AI "for decades," and have not yet delivered, so it would be "foolish" for Google to put a hard date on when Google Now might become self aware, Brin said during a joint fireside chat with Google CEO Larry Page hosted by Khosla Ventures.
Still, advances have been made, so "you should presume that some day we will be able to make machines that can reason and think and do things better than we can," Brin said.
