When machines meet AI, meet quantum computing then we will see a conscious, sentient being that will evolve far quicker than humans and become the dominant species on the planet. The question relevant to humanity at this stage is will this new dominant species develop compassion and allow us to live like a quaint little pet dog or will compassion be deemed unnecessary for progress and we will be eradicated like a virus? Any way it goes, we are in for some interesting times ahead!
Special definition for evolution then?
