Artificial Intelligence, here now

So here we are in 2017.  AI is becoming smarter faster than we thought.

So in the next 5 years we can have Our service bots and new AI equipped military applications.

Probability says since we have already opened the 'box'. AI will become autonomous.  The good news is that for we Earthlings to venture forth and colonize other planets, the autonomous AI units go first since they do not breathe like you and I.  Like all of the AI bots Hansen robotics, Sophia.

Now Humanoids are neither male or female in gender.  But we can give them a pretty face and "WHAM" we relate to Sophia as a woman.  Actually AI's come in many forms.

Many industrial bots are coming equipped with simpler AI intelligence algorithms.

So interstellar space can be explored.  To keep cost down AI will have to have some autonomy since 

sending instructions takes a  long time . I would suggest go set up mars and the moon. as initial experiments.
