Artificial intelligence is here already, you just don't know it
Artificial intelligence is not some futuristic dystopian concept years away from hitting society. AI is here already and it might not be what you think it is.

5 ways artificial intelligence is enhancing traditional marketing today
Artificial intelligence is already changing the world by making life simpler and more convenient for all of us. It blocks unwanted emails and knows exactly what we like on Netflix. It can even predict future health issues so we can take the necessary steps to prevent them. AI is also having an effect on our careers.

Songwriter AI emulates the Beatles with a little help from its friends
Thousands of songwriters have honed their skills listening to the Beatles โ now there's one more. An AI developed by a team at Snap, the company that owns the social network Snapchat, has learned to write pop songs in the style of the Fab Four. Computers have been composing music for years.

Rewatch: Why 'Ex Machina' Is Even Scarier Four Years Later
Unlike technology, sometimes science fiction improves with age. Double Take is Popular Mechanics' look back at sci-fi classics that have something prescient to say about today. Four years ago, when Alex Garland's instant sci-fi classic Ex Machina debuted, it dropped into a different era--the time before Cambridge Analytica, before Russian election trolling, before the catastrophic Equifax leak and too many others like it. We'd spent decades knowing our personal data could be hacked, leaked, and abused by nefarious parties, of course. But back then, people tended to worry along individual lines, about a stolen identity or a maxed-out account--not the data-driven mass manipulation that has been repeatedly uncovered over the past few years.

Trashy Robots
There's nothing, it would seem, that Peter Kokis can't turn into a robot. The Brooklyn performance artist makes cyborgs out of 100 percent recycled materials--oftentimes salvaged from the trash. He builds the 170-pound costumes on his kitchen table. When he's done, Kokis parades through the streets, a veritable Transformer among mortals. "I look for complexity in everyday objects," Kokis says in Aaron Craig's short documentary One Man's Trash.
