Physics

Physics may bring faster solutions for tough computational problems. Researchers have used an elegant method based on statistical mechanics -- called the vertex model -- to create more efficient algorithms to solve complex problems more quickly. The research could solve problems in machine learning, circuit optimization and other major computational challenges. Ref. Source 7k.

Great, another way to make a machine smarter. I fear for the day they become self aware… and yes, I think it will happen. It's just a step before they think they are better. And why do I think they will? Because humans are doing the programming and teaching.

You have to remember Murphy's law here. "To Err is human, to really foul things up takes a computer" A computer is only as smart as the person who programmed it. I am not afraid of machines becoming self aware for now. I am sure they will fit right in with the rest of us and keep fouling things up.
