Perhapes I am missing something in the exchange, but I do not envision a
future
Internet inhabited by *an* AI or *the* AI, obvious grammatical references to
a
singular entity. Instead part of the system will be the location of a host
of independent intelligence
systems, coupled with their agents, each built with particular roles to
play. The rest of the
system would comprise of the interaction of human and machine that would
form the basis
for the coming era of global consciousness. With direct reference to the
question at hand, instead of
being faced with the distributed computing problem of a single AI being able
to efficently utilize the whole
"Internet", just run the distributed computing problem on a higher level.
Split the problem between several
intelligent systems in tandem.
