Don't worry, artificial intelligence is not a job stealer – it's a job enabler Information Age

These are just some of the scenarios that Hollywood has dreamt up, which are giving artificial intelligence (AI) a bad name. We've even seen Stephen Hawking express his doubts about AI, saying: "Creating AI will be the biggest event in human history… it might also be the last." It seems that a notion has developed that robots and the AI behind them are out to get us. So how accurate is the glitz and glam of Hollywood, or indeed the doom and gloom of Professor Hawking? It's easy to get caught up in the apocalyptic view Hollywood presents, but the reality, as you would expect, is very different – AI actually offers many benefits.
