The search for artificial intelligences seems to have reached a point where many long-promised technologies have become reality. In particular, the heavy use of large databases has led to the development of systems for image recognition, natural language understanding, and decision making, whose performance often reaches, and sometimes surpasses, human performance. This technological advance has produced optimistic and pessimistic reactions. Some opinions are enthusiastically positive in believing that the future will bring enormous riches to everyone, while others foresee the end of humanity. Between these extremes, one can find a varied set of positions. This paper tries to capture these positions using a set of “dystopias” and “utopias”. In the end we reach a “realistic utopia” that serves as a plausible goal for society, in contrast to a “realistic dystopia” that represents a credible model that must be avoided.
