The four different stages of the author's portrait depict the Artificial Intelligence (AI) training process – creating a synthetic image which is indistinguishable from the original. Various globally connected AI algorithms are increasingly capable of performing many different tasks, and are becoming more self-aware. Ubiquitous algorithms are taking over tasks traditionally reserved for human judgement, such as calculating individual credit scores, or flying military drones. How far are we from achieving Superintelligence? And how – if our ability to distinguish 'real world' images from those generated by Artificial General Intelligence is lost – will it affect human experience and our perceptions of reality?
