Even though initially the idea that humans could fly seemed far-fetched, it works thanks to technology and it has greatly benefited humanity. We might be standing on the cusp of a new powerful technology, Artificial Intelligence. Right now we are limited to creating narrow intelligence for specialized tasks. We should mature artificial narrow intelligence by practicing it. Two suitable topics would be cognitive human extension and cognitive human amplifier, which would already initiate a big leap in humans life. It sounds like a good way to grow the technological progression. Predicting the future is hard, but many people believe this to be the beginning of something big.
While the range of biological intelligence seems very likely limited by evolution amongst other things, artificial intelligence may not be. A technology that powerful co
