| - | **No** - or at least not to the point of inducing [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technological_singularity|the Singularity]]. Current tech is able to produce a reasoning AI equivalent to a 5-year old human child, and even that requires vast amounts of learnt material and programmed-in behavioural cues, so it is not emergent intelligence. Computing is good at performing pre-set tasks, and many computers can be programmed for extremely broad applications so that they seem to possess true intelligence, but are in truth just well-designed. While AI's have proved excellent and finding patterns, crunching large amounts of data and similar "heavy" tasks, it has so far proven nigh-impossible to develop a truly creative AI. Artefact examples of advanced generalised AI may exist, and alien or precursor examples could also be found, but these are rare plot elements rather than a key part of the setting. | + | **No** - or at least not to the point of inducing [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technological_singularity|the Singularity]].
