Andrew Moore, the former vice president of engineering at Google, told Tech Insider that big developments in artificial intelligence are coming, but that change will be gradual. Still, he envisions a lot happening in the next 10 years. Here are six predictions Moore, who is now dean of Carnegie Mellon’s School of Computer Science, has for artificial intelligence in the next 10 years.
10 years: driverless cars will be able to make judgment calls. This is already a discussion that’s in the works today. If a driverless car is in a situation where it has the option to hit another car or a pedestrian, which will it choose? The ability to make an ethical choice like that is not something autonomous vehicles are currently capable of doing, as highlighted in a recent MIT study. But Moore said he thinks artificial intelligence will advance to a point where, in 10 years, driverless cars will be able to make those calls.
