The Myth of Artificial Intelligence

Ok this Artificial Intelligence buzz is starting to get out of control. Artificial Intelligence or “A.I” as it is referred to is nothing new. A.I. refers to the art of making computers appear to be intelligent. Generally, we use sensors or user input to feed a data model (machine learning usually) and formulate an automated response.

A.I. is widespread online and in software. It’s just starting to truly work in hardware. But it’s rare. In this age of the A.I. gold rush beware of:

1. Companies who claim they work in A.I. but really don’t do anything related, or have no working technology.

2. Machine Learning algorithms that have no data source to learn from and train.

3. Technology that doesn’t work. Basics fail. But the company is claiming A.I.

4. Robots are not going to take over our lives anytime soon. The tech just isn’t there yet!

5. A.I. already impacts us in many ways.
