RENO – Mining companies from around the world have begun using artificial intelligence in their operations.

Artificial intelligence (AI) technologies are commonly used to cope with the growing number of cyber threats.

Artificial intelligence is quite the buzzword these days.

Each of these brand-name voice assistants speaks when spoken to, turning on a smart speaker or other voice-activated device that can answer questions. Voice is rapidly emerging as a hands-free medium consumers use for, well, just about anything -- music, news feeds, hints on removing stains, instructions for mixing cocktails. In homes, people use voice commands to adjust interconnected lights and thermostats, and search for -- and even buy -- products and services. Think of cave dwellers huddled around a fire pit enraptured by hunting tales, or a 1940s nuclear family gathered in front of a radio for the next episode of The Lone Ranger. And until recently, forms of entertainment and media that relied solely on voice seemed to be on the decline.

Artificial intelligence is changing how people perceive technology in the workplace, but it's also changing how people perceive each other, according to Oracle's new AI at Work study.

They'd rather turn to a robot for advice, than their manager. Indians would trust robots most, followed by the Chinese, Singaporeans and the Japanese. The Brits and the French are at the bottom of the list – roughly half of their workers would trust a robot.
