      Artificial intelligence might get dominant at a point but its a very very small chance…. in fact I reckon its pretty unlikely. The matrix is a nice idea but it actually happening is about as likely as me getting into Hogwarts !

      I think its more likely at some point in the future we can digitise our memories and consciousness that way we can outlive our bodies and become sort of robotic!

      I think there will be a place for AI but I don’t think they will become dominant. Technology can go wrong and nothing has quite compared to the human brain to fix things. In a couple of generations though, I do think it’s likely we will rely on AI to some extent.
