Are Engineers Gods?
In the start-up world, the popular narrative is that “Engineers are Gods” – but is that true? Are engineers the kingmakers? Do they have the power to make or break a start-up?
Software became an essential part of our daily life in the 1960s when computers began processing data. Before that, engineers were largely limited by how fast they could think up new ideas and build them into physical products; now there's no limit! In 2011,?Marc Andreessen, the globally renowned investor famously made a prescient claim that “software is eating the world.”?His prediction was that software companies would disrupt traditional industries and since then, companies like Amazon, Netflix, Airbnb have upended many established companies. The truth is that “as software eats the world”, engineers are becoming more important than ever before. Software allows us to do things we couldn't do before -- drive cars, make videos and give voice commands.
Engineers can solve problems that no one else can. They can create things that never existed before. They can change the world as we know it. Will we see a world where the only limitation to solving a problem is your imagination? Can engineers use Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning to solve all known problems to mankind? Does the future belong to engineers? Will they rule the world?

2 年Either one is intelligent or not....what defines artificial intelligence? It's created from human intelligence, just a mirror and in absolute form with no discerning ability. Can't be superior.

2 年1) Source of all known human problems, unsatiable hunger for materialistic growth at cost of everything....nature, animals, ecological balance. No amount of Engineering or artificial intelligence can solve this..... 2) Engineers are part of ecosystem, without user's and problems....we cannot operate we operate on material instincts not spiritual. 3) Artificial Intelligence is an extension of automated vision of the engineer.....it's not the creative intelligence of nature and cosmos, so it cannot solve all problems ,as there is no soul in this intelligence, except in sci fi movies. 4) Engineers flourish if nurtured properly.....only mothers can do it. Mothers are God's and nature makes mother's. No one is above creative intelligence. 5) Future belongs to the question, after artificial intelligence, what next...... Engineers can only make life easier with smart technology to get peaceful 8 hrs sleep. Restful Sleep is the problem, Engineers cannot give external solutions for internal problem. I may sound weird but that's the truth according to me. In the meantime, everyone is busy making money.....????
