No doubt, AI will develop to the point that humans and computers will be able to interface effortlessly.
With the development of AI, there may come a time when it becomes a real issue as to whether a computer or machine has in fact achieved consciousness, and whether, as a conscious being, it deserves the same rights as a human being.
AI may help us solve problems that are currently too big and overwhelming for us to solve on our own. For example, complex AI models may be able to use given data to develop a workable solution to global warming.
