Nothing is going to replace "artificial intelligence"

I mean, humanity is basically defined and driven by two things : its intelligence, and its tool use.

Artificial intelligence is just the combination of the two.

Humanity isn't going anywhere except more ways to put intelligence into tools.

But obviously, any particular technique or technology will get replaced. Yes we'll have hardware acceleration for popular machine learning techniques. Up to, and including, optical computers and memristors. And then quantum computing.

We'll invent new learning algorithms. We'll collect even larger data sets.

But we'll never not be interested in what intelligence brings us. Or pushing more of the work we do ourselves into artificial tools.
