What are people's thoughts on AI?
Will we reach a singularity?
Will there ever be a machine/robot that has the ability to learn from experience, can reason, understand natural language, show emotions and generally act humanlike?
Will a robot pass the Turing Test? When, why?
What does the future look like for AI? Will humans in the future be half robot/ half human because of the use of 'parts' for inhanced life expectancy?
Any comments, data, thoughts most welcome.

Will we reach a singularity? - Huh?
Will there ever be a machine/robot that has the ability to learn from experience, can reason, understand natural language, show emotions and generally act humanlike? - Almost certainly.
Will a robot pass the Turing Test? When, why? - Huh?

Will humans in the future be half robot/ half human because of the use of 'parts' for inhanced life expectancy? - I guess it depends on what you mean by 'half robot'. I think people will incorporate more machinery into our bodies, some of which will be computerized. I can't think of a reason why we'd put AI in our bodies though. We have a perfectly good natural intelligence.

l we reach a singularity? What is singulanity?

Reason no, if you mean being aware. Learn, as to react because of
programming yes they do it now, but not with understanding.
All any computer is, is an adding machine, it simply is programmable
and that will not make anything aware, unless you are speaking
about Science fiction.

no

The reality is that all computers are adding machines placing bits
of voltages looking like 0 and 1 here and there within the machine.
This is not going to give understanding, being aware. It does make
it appear so if you look at things like playing chess, adding numbers,
and so on. Yet all it is really doing is acting on the programming
it has recieved.

I believe this will eventually be possible, but as KellyJay pointed out, it would be just artificial. It would be simulating emotions according to how it is programmed. It would not know why it is doing it.
You imagine a calculator. All it does is do calculations that the user instructs it to do. A computer is a much more advanced version of this that could handle much more complicated tasks. Hence it could be programmed to appear intelligent and aware.
Edit: Want to add that there are already AI conversation bots on the web. They aren't all that sophisticated but I am sure a very dumb person would believe it is human.
Here is one example: http://www.alicebot.org/

True artificial intelligence will not be achieved for decades, if not centuries. Our understanding of human intelligence is poor enough, let alone our ability to create a new form of intelligence.
Will we reach a singularity?
Not sure what you mean by this. Do you mean a point where a computer will become self-aware, and then enormous societal change will result? If so, the answer is probably 'yes', but as to when - see above.
Will there ever be a machine/robot that has the ability to learn from experience, can reason, understand natural language, show emotions and generally act humanlike?
Yes, but not for a long, long time.
Will a robot pass the Turing Test? When, why?
AI programs (not robots) pass the Turing Test all the time. The Turing Test doesn't state that AI programs have to demonstrate intelligence, just that they can interact with a human so that the human believes he/she was interacting with another human. All the AI program has to do is give the *illusion* of intelligence.
What does the future look like for AI? Will humans in the future be half robot/ half human because of the use of 'parts' for enhanced life expectancy?
I think that the future will be an increased human dependency on machine parts re intellect augmentation. Organic and machine intelligence will possibly evolve together, rather than remaining separate.

Singularity by Wikipedia:
...refers to the advent of smarter than human intelligence, and the cascading technologicial progree assumed to follow...
Furthermore, when AI development becomes more complex and "singularity" has been achieved, A.I. may become "smarter than humans", although this is hard to comprehend. Thus, humans will find ways of putting 'chips' 'silicon brains' etc in themselves to increase their knowledge prowess.
Anyone else with any comments?

It would be interesting to see a robot with wireless access to the world wide web in a hundred years from now.
I'd talk to someone who had that much knowledge and could compare and contrast all the different opinions. Let's call the robot "Professor".
