What could be the offspring of a 3D printer and an Artificial Intelligence entity?What’s your craziest dream?I am sure that you have had a really crazy dream from time to time, whether it is when you are sleeping or daydreaming. For sure, I have had one. For those of you who know me well, you are already aware that I have many crazy ideas when we touch the technology or the human brain field. I love to push my ideas as far as possible. Try to do it. It is exceptional to maintain or reignite and boost the great creativity you already have between your ears.Would you like to be able to speak to a 3D printer to ask him to print something special for you? Yeah, me too!Here is my craziest dream related to 3D printing and WHY it will be that way:Once upon a time, on earth, an Artificial Intelligence (AI) entity will meet a 3D printer. She will fall in love with this funny and attaching machine. Their love will be so strong that they will find a way to create together a progeny.What could be the offspring of an AI entity with a 3D printer?Any idea? I give you a few seconds to think about it.The offspring of an AI entity with a 3D printer will be a 3D printer able to reproduce itself without human intervention. That one seems obvious, right? Imagine a 3D printer that could print its own parts in order to repair itself or to create another 3D printer like it. “He is able to replicate himself, so what?” OK, I hear you. Do you want some more?Allow me to guide you through the next steps.What if he could 3D print something new? Not a spare part in a new flashy color but a 3D printer more technologically advanced. For example, imagine a 3D printer able to use better materials to print an autonomous robotic entity able to use Artificial Intelligence to think by itself. Something like in the “I, Robot” movie but one-step further. (In the movie, with Will Smith as the main human character, only one robot is really thinking by itself and the others are controlled by a central artificial intelligence).I have an entire story ready about that subject (including nanomaterials and nanoparticles and, of course, the planet Mars) but to make it short, I will jump to the scariest step of that evolution.What if, after a few iterations, he was able to 3D print living cells? What if he was able to differentiate cells to create an entire living organism? What do you think this living organism could look like? Would it be something unknown or something like a human being? Will it replace us or enhance us? And if this super 3D printer has some humor, maybe it will upload a human mind in the thinking part of its creation.Maybe the ultimate augmented human being could start with a not so improbable technological “love story”…End (or beginning???) of the story.Artificial Intelligence and 3D printing will meet one day. It’s inevitable. The obvious first step will be to add natural language processing and some AI to be able to ask what you want to be printed (personalized pieces of equipment, exclusive clothes or accessories, food, pets,…).MAYBE IT WILL TAKE SOME TIME TO HAPPEN. BUT THINK ABOUT IT, ARE YOU NOT ALREADY INTERACTING WITH ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE WHEN YOU DO A RESEARCH ON INTERNET OR TALK TO YOUR PHONE TO ASK FOR SOMETHING?

Artificial Intelligence + 3D printer = ???
