One of the "fathers" of virtual assistant from Apple Tom Gruber recently shared his thoughts on how to use artificial intelligence to expand the capabilities of human memory. Such use of AI will make it an invaluable assistant and will enable a person to overcome some of the shortcomings caused by his physiology, and will be a wand-rod for people who suffer from memory loss.

Tom believes that due to the wide dissemination of various Internet technologies, as well as smartphones and tablet computers, the Internet already has a lot of information related to each individual. If you create a specialized artificial intelligence system, it will be able to collect all the data about a person and will be a kind of "backup memory".

Mr. Gruber also notes that artificial intelligence systems acting as such assistants must be completely safe. If AI allows you to remember what you yourself remember and can not, then such an "outlet" can be used by an outsider. On the one hand, this looks extremely contradictory and difficult to implement, but on the other hand, more and more developments have recently been carried out that allow the interaction of a person with a machine. Even Ilon Mask recently stated about something similar. According to the very same Thomas Grubber,.

"Superintelligence can give a man superpowers, because the machines we create become more intelligent, we, too, in turn become smarter. The introduction of artificial intelligence will create a union machine with a person, each member of which will make every effort to achieve goals or meet human needs. And the question "How smart can we make our cars?" "Should already sound somewhat different:" How smart can machines make us? ". Of course, I can not say how much more time and what it will take to create a symbiosis of artificial intelligence and human. But I believe that the moment of appearance of such a symbiosis will inevitably come ".
