Most of that AI will be weak form. Can do various specific tasks set out for it, but not exactly the cognitive functions of a human being.
The 100 fold increase you are referring to has to do with thinking AI will follow a Moore's Law compounding and a singularity will be reached. Let's hope so, this would improve standard of living for millions.
Most AI predictions in the past have turned out pretty bad for what it is worth, so always good to take with a grain of salt.
I'm.not just talking bout AI reaching pinnacle heights.......I'm talking about technology, medicine, science, etc.......
There's a doctor/scientist name Dr Anthony Atala at Wake Forest U. that is doing remarkable achievements with stem cell research.......the US military/govt has signed on to his remarkable medical team & their abilities to grow organs using a persons own cells.
They've already grown gall bladders, kidneys, etc......& have placed them in humans bodies & there is 0% of the body rejecting the organ because the organ was grown in a lab using the persons cells......unbelievable stuff.
They say within 20-30 years, they will be able to give a person any part of the human body.........the military is using Dr Anthony Atala & his team for our men coming back with serious wounds.......this doctor will be able to give these soldiers their lives back.
Of course most of the major organs like the heart, the genitals, etc are about 10 years away from being placed onside a human.
My point being is, our future is gonna quicken in all these fields........& I really do believe by 2050, we will be doing things that we thought wasnt capable of being done as early as we thought.
I know the military has stuff that are 20 years ahead of what the public is aware of........we humans will always strive for perfection one way or another.......& we're even reaching for other life form to help us in the one thing we will never be able to fix on our own, world peace, peace with our neighbors.......it just seems that no matter how technologically advanced we get, we seem to always f**k it up.
There's never been peace on this earth, & I don't think we will ever see it, but finding life form.from another dimension will fool people into thinking peace is possible...........
