Is there a path to artificial general intelligence that doesn't have computers being able to recognize people's faces in the same way that people are able to re

  There are quite a few simpler paths that do not require AI. I hope - but I am not sure - that in the longer term we will come to our senses and see that without proper safeguards in place stuff like this has more negative than positive applications. Once we cross that bridge we can start to apply the tech within those lines, but if we do not draw them first we will have a lot of grief and those lessons will be that much harder learned. Maybe that's the only way we will progress but I really would like to see this happen without a large mess. There is a joke that technology is like four wheel drive (itself a form of technology), you will still get stuck, but in harder places. In other words, the tech that gets you into trouble is not necessarily the tech that will get you out of that trouble, it may need a more advanced technology to solve a problem created by a previous level.
