b'Following up on Monday\\u2019s show, Phil and Stephen explore the possibilities embedded in this recent prediction:\\n\\nBillionaire CEO of SoftBank: Robots will have an IQ of 10,000 in 30 years\\n\\n\\xa0In about 30 years, artificial intelligence will have an IQ of 10,000, Son says. By comparison, the average human IQ is 100 and genius is 200, according to Son. Mensa, "the High IQ society," starts accepting members with an IQ score of 130.\\n\\nAssuming the average person has an IQ of 100, Masayoshi Son is predicting that computers will be 100 times smarter than we are. What will we do with that kind of mental capability (assuming we\\u2019re still calling the shots?)\\n\\nPhil and Stephen discuss some problems that might benefit from 100X human intelligence:\\nAnti-aging medicine\\n\\n\\tThis kind of thing:\\nTo Stay Young, Kill Zombie Cells\\n\\n\\tAn anti-aging strategy that works in mice is about to be tested in humansWorld hunger\\n\\n\\t20 years ago, 1 billion hungry people\\n\\n\\tToday, 1 billion hungry people\\n\\n\\tLots of glib \\u201csolutions,\\u201d but the problem persists\\n\\n\\tDo we need some smarter thinking\\xa0\\xa0\\n\\n\\t\\xa0Getting to true atomically precise manufacturing\\n\\n\\t\\xa0The transition from an employment economy to a post-scarcity\\n\\n\\tOr maybe just plain making everybody rich?\\n\\n\\t\\xa0Flying cars\\nOr is this all ultimately a dystopian idea?\\n\\nJoin us. And leave a comment -- what problem would you put 100X human intelligence on?\\n\\nWT 365-675'
