How AI is bringing Hollywood to life

We have seen great strides made in artificial intelligence (AI). As sci-fi readers and film buffs know, many of these ideas that have been foreshadowed -- and that seem far-fetched -- in fiction are beginning to seem possible. Whether we are considering the benevolent Commander Data in Star Trek: The Next Generation or fearing the terrifying Terminator, we are entering an era where AI as is rapidly entering the public discourse. A number of technologies are going to make the AI that we see in film possible. In addition to supercomputing and cloud computing, technology such as robotics, computer vision, machine learning, nanotechnology, and computational power in small spaces will directly affect the way that AI develops in real life.
