Question 22 [STG]- AI
What's the state of artificial intelligence tech in 2099?

Answer 22 [STG]- AI
The AI revolution has not materialized. The promises of the hype and speculation at the beginning of the 21st century weren't fulfilled. This isn't to say that AI stalled out; some fields, like playing a game, driving a car or mixing music have made major strides since the early 21st century, but the hunt for general intelligence has met a couple of roadblocks.

The only strong generally applicable AI are expert systems, which generally exist as a sounding board for professionals. There are particularly notable for occasionally suggesting very wrong answers to questions, which hasn't help those who describe their symptoms into the computer.

Voice recognition, in general, works, if you're speaking one of the top ten languages. Other languages are spotty at best. Voice synthesis, is even better, with dozens of accents and voices available for even obscure languages (There are at least 3 different Quenya voice sets). Translation and other language recognition tasks have a poor track record in general.

Roadblocks have come up over and over for AI. In the early 21st century, it was believed that improvements in computing power would offset many of the problems that were emerging in the quest for AI. However, since 2030, there have been very few developments in computer hardware. Self-improving AI have come under heavy scrutiny after the Crisis of 2066, and are treated with great care and oversight.

Question 24 [STG] - Main Languages
What are the top ten languages?

Question 25 [STG] - Crisis of 2066
What happened in the Crisis of 2066? Why did it lead to heavy scrutiny of self improving AI afterwards?
