Artificial Intelligence

Progress in the development of artificial intelligence has without a doubt come a long way and will continue to develop probably far beyond what we can imagine today. But I wonder if the development of intelligence in the human race will develop at an equal pace. I can just see it now, despite the fact we are an intelligent species, we do and believe some really outrageous things, particularly when it comes to co-existing with technology. How smart can we be when we post our uncensored opinions, compromising pictures and personal details on a public electronic bulletin board for millions to see (My Space). How smart can our government officials and leaders be when they transmit pornographic images using their computers at work and think it can not be traced to them. I guess what I am saying is that, while we have intelligent members of our species that can develop and further perfect artificial intelligence, I do not believe the masses will have the intelligence to use it and will ultimately be manipulated by government, corporations and the power elite through the use of artificial intelligence.
