| Summary: | The most important issues to watch in the development of artificial intelligence (AI) are not just the evolution of human beings and robotics but also what is going on in the biosphere as AI enhances, or threatens, the futures of land animals, marine creatures, insects, and plants. It is also important to watch for the growing importance of artificial life—that is, the technological ability to mimic living behavior in such systems as the law, telecommunication networks, energy systems, and food production. Forecasts for the future of AI are presented.
