Found this a little ironic, in a funny way - the article was written in association with IBM. Funny enough, the movie 2001 which the article images are from, is hinting to IBM but in an obscured way. For example, the name HAL is IBM shifted one char to the left and you can even see IBM logo on some machines in the movie.
Besides from that I think unless IBM knows the future and all unknowns, we cannot really be sure what will come out of AI. Which is why we should be very careful with it.
