Much nearer than when I conceptualized :
Fast Forward to Future [ F

Oct 2016
I thought , this may happen by 2022
But , after reading the following news-snippet ( Economic Times /
01 Aug ) , I cannot escape the feeling that ARIHANT could well arrive ( - and save the mankind from Robots taking over
? ) , by next year !
It goes to prove :
If you can “ Imagine “ a “ technological innovation “ ,
it will happen , sooner or later
More likely
, sooner than later !
“ These Ghosts Can Haunt Your Phone “
Las Vegas :
Chinese researchers have demonstrated an attack called the “ Ghost Telephonist “ , which allows
hackers to take over “ PHONE NUMBERS “ and gather “ CALL and MESSAGE
CONTENT “
The demonstration was made by the Unicorn Team researchers from 360 TECHNOLOGY , Chinese
leading security company , at the Black Hat , USA 2017
Those who have lingering “ doubts “ ( as to when this future will
arrive ) , are requested to read the following news that appeared in Times of
India ( 31 July ) :
“ Google flirts with AI that can imagine , plan “
Google’s artificial intelligence division
is developing a system that can make its own PLANS
DeepMind says its “ IMAGINATION AUGMENTED
AGENTS “ can “ IMAGINE “ the possible consequences of their actions, and “ INTERPRET “ those simulations
They can then make the “ RIGHT DECISIONS “ , for what
it is they want to achieve
They , essentially THINK like HUMANS , trying out different strategies in their heads , so to speak,
and are therefore able to LEARN , despite having
little REAL experience
“ The AGENTS we introduce
benefit from an IMAGINATION ENCODER
- a neural network
which LEARNS to ‘ extract any information ‘ useful for the Agent’s
FUTURE DECISIONS , but ignore that which is irrelevant “ , the researchers wrote in
a blog post

I suppose , advocates arguing that “ RIGHT
to PRIVACY “ is a fundamental constitutional right , may not like the above
developments
But future
of privacy does not look rosy !
