Summary:
Sometime in the future the
intelligence
of
machines
will exceed that of human brain power. So are we on the edge of an AI-pocalypse, with superintelligent devices superseding humanity, as predicted by Stephen Hawking? Or will this herald a kind of Utopia, with
machines
doing a far better job at complex tasks than us? You might not realize it, but you interact with AIs every day. They route your phone calls, approve your credit card transactions and help your doctor interpret results. Driverless cars will soon be on the roads with a decision-making computer in charge. But how do
machines
actually
think
and learn? Explore how
artificial
intelligence
helps us understand human
intelligence
. Learn
about
machines
that compose music and write stories, and find out if AI is really a threat.
