If you say AI is like everything else, technology-wise, then we're probably overstating its impact in the short run. But here's what's different about AI: It's software, which means that the rate of change is greater than anything else. The moment it can create itself, the so-called singularity, when it's smart enough to reprogram itself on the fly, it's completely unpredictable. My prediction is that our systems, our political systems, will have to change and really quickly to making it legal to have AI as a citizen.
