  being used today?)
• Military and Intelligence
• Space Exploration
• Medicine
• Science and Math
• Business Finance and Manufacturing
• Manufacturing and Robotics
• Speech and Language
• Entertainment and Sports

14
Robotics Strong A.I.

• Strong AI
• Coined by John Searle
• AI is the claim that some forms of artificial
  intelligence can truly reason and solve problems
• states that it is possible for machines to
  becomes sapient, or self-aware, but may or may
  not exhibit human-like thought processes

15
GNR Will it happen?

• Conclusions
• The building blocks already exist.
• There is a motivation to independently create
  these technologies.
• A major advance in just one of these enabling
  technologies will change our world.
