If you look at almost anything written about Artificial Intelligence, the first thing you’ll see is references to 2001’s HAL, Blade Runner’s replicants and Terminator’s Skynet. Ad nauseam.
And this is the problem with AI. People’s expectations of it are based on the anthropomorphized images provided by pop-culture. Even today, if you ask people for an example of AI, they would mention Alexa or Siri, two of the most anthropomorphic AI systems that exist — they have human names and personalities!
Even the big news at this year’s Consumer Electronics Show (CES) was Samsung’s human-like AI, Neon.
The fantasy that AI = sentience, hurts the public perception of AI and perhaps limits adoption. The truth is, the ways AI is used today is staggering.
From autocorrect to self-driving cars, from Netflix recommendations to saving lives, AI is everywhere. What exactly is AI? How does it work? What are its use cases and what is its future? We’ve created a primer that looks at these questions.
