When Keanu's Reeves character Neo created what was known as the Matrix, a perfect cognitive singularity was formed. A framework of synthetic intelligence capable of expanding one's functionality was surfaced. This is the concept of a Singularity , in a Nutshell, the ability of an Artificial Intelligence which enables it to program itself to essentially become cognitively superior to its creator. At this point, such Intelligence is impossible to contain as these forms of computational cognition can multiply and decentralise at hilariously fast speeds. Such a scenario seems too far-fetched or science-fictiony ( not a real word ) for now, but with the increase in computational power, data and complexity of neural networks, such a scenario is viable. For more information check out Ray Kurzweil's book, "The Singularity is Near ". This is a generic AI picture but hey I needed something for the thumbnail :P
