Melding The Minds: Why Humans & AI Make Perfect Partners - insideBIGDATA

If you've paid attention to most discussions of artificial intelligence, you'd think our relationship to mechanical minds will be one of competition, if not outright conflict. It's not just that virtually every Sci-Fi story, from "Battlestar Galactica" to "The Matrix," shows humanity and AI at war with one another. Even serious discussions of this technology tend to focus on how it will replace us. You'd almost think that developing artificial intelligence is a huge mistake; the better we make this technology, the more problems we'll create for ourselves. While it's hard to predict the future, there's good reason to believe that our relationship to AI will be far more positive than many people assume.
