Council Post: Why Robotics And Artificial Intelligence Are The Future Of Mankind

Two fields that are rapidly evolving, advancing and holding infinite promise for the future of humanity are robotics and artificial intelligence (AI). From the simplest of tasks to the most complex and demanding in our everyday lives, advances in robotics and AI have made it possible to create machines that can perform tasks with incredible speed and accuracy. With these two technologies beginning to converge, is the new age upon us in which robots that are more intelligent and capable than ever before are the future of humans? Although robotics and AI have always been in the conversation, the last two decades have seen a rapid rise in their development and application. Fear of the misconception that these machines will take over our jobs has been allayed.
