Artificial intelligence and other cutting-edge technologies are starting to play a role in matchmaking as they increasingly wind their way deeper into people's lives. Today's high-tech gadgets are now being used to give people greater knowledge of potential mates, details from hobbies and smoking preferences to whether they have walked down the aisle before. At a konkatsu (marriage introduction) party held by matchmaking agency Zwei in June, participants wore wristbands. When they shook hands, their profiles would show up on a tablet computer, facilitating conversation. "Oh, I see you're a movie lover!" said one attendee, taking cues from the tablet computer.

Dave Senior, partner and strategist at Toronto-based digital agency Playground Inc, explained the difference between artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, and the role each plays in transforming experiences and professions, during a lecture at Northwestern University in Qatar (NU-Q). Artificial intelligence continues to reshape all aspects of everyday life. From driverless cars and supermarkets with no cashiers to factory automation and e-learning, the rollout of machine-driven data and automated processes are redefining how the world operates, especially across the media industry. Senior explained that machine learning is the "acquisition of knowledge or skill by a computer, where the knowledge is provided and fed by an expert", while AI is where a machine can "apply knowledge and continue to optimise" using algorithms and logic to make decisions and come up with solutions, without an expert. "The differences between AI and machine learning are fairly stark," said Senior.

Life on Mars won't be how David Bowie pictured it. With the help of artificial intelligence, architects and scientists are painting a picture of what life in space could be like and how it will be possible. The Age of A.I. is a 8 part documentary series hosted by Robert Downey Jr. covering the ways Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning and Neural Networks will change the world.

Machine learning is indeed today's technology!

Additionally, computer vision is collectively used in the field of deep learning, neural networks, machine learning, and others.

After a while, everything is overhyped and underwhelming. Even Artificial Intelligence has not been able to escape the inevitable reduction that follows such excessive hype. AI is everything and everywhere now and most of us won't even blink if we are told AI is powering someone's toothbrush. The phrase is undoubtedly being misused but is the technology too? One thing is certain, whether we like it or not, whether we understand it or not, for good or bad, AI is playing a huge part in our everyday life today -- huger than we imagine.
