ET 's Artificial Intelligence: Boldly Going By John Prytz | Submitted On February 23, 2013 Recommend Article Article Comments Print Article Share this article on Facebook Share this article on Twitter Share this article on Google+ Share this article on Linkedin Share this article on StumbleUpon Share this article on Delicious Share this article on Digg Share this article on Reddit Share this article on Pinterest Thanks to the movies, we probably all know what ET stands for. Then there 's ETI which is ExtraTerrestrial Intelligence. I 'm going to introduce here a new acronym, ETAI, or ExtraTerrestrial Artificial Intelligence. Any and all assumptions about extraterrestrial intelligences have to be based on terrestrial intelligence, since we don 't have any sample, to date, of ETI. I 'm going to ignore 'ancient astronauts ' and the UFO issue (for the moment) in the context of this essay since not everyone reading this will be comfortable with that being evidence for actual ETI. Human intelligence (HI) has been around for several millions of years. Modern human intelligence, as per Homo sapiens, has been around for only some 200,000 years. While there 's little doubt human IQ has increased over those millions of years, it certainly hasn 't improved much more over the past 200,000 years. Translated, increases in brain power, neuron connections, IQ, grunt grey matter processing power, problem solving abilities, call it what you will, while maybe sure, is also damn slow!
