The Future of Internet and AI

The video discusses the evolution of the internet into an 'intelligent planet' and the potential future development of a 'Brain Net' for brain-to-brain communication. It explores the speculative idea of the internet becoming sentient, akin to science fiction scenarios like Sky Net, but dismisses it as unlikely. The video also highlights the limitations of current AI, using IBM's Watson as an example, emphasizing that AI lacks self-awareness and is essentially a sophisticated adding machine.
