Should we fear AI as in the Terminator movies? Or should we embrace its many benefits and potential?
According to Wikipedia, AI is “a system’s ability to correctly interpret external data, to learn from such data, and to use those learnings to achieve specific goals and tasks through flexible adaptation.”
Artificial Intelligence has come a long way since its founding as an academic discipline in 1956. Nowadays, machines has gotten more and more capable as technology evolves.
