The Women Making AI Less Scary And More Accessible

NEW YORK, NY - APRIL 12: Model, philanthropist, and investor Natalia Vodianova, Epytom founder and CEO Anastasia Sartan, and MSNBC'Your Business' host JJ Ramberg speak onstage during Vanity Fair's Founders Fair at Spring Studios on April 12, 2018 in New York City. "I'm close to artificial intelligence (AI) and it scares the hell out of me," said Elon Musk during HBO's Westworld panel at South by Southwest this year. "It's capable of vastly more than anyone knows, and the improvement is exponential." Musk cited the example of AlphaGo, Google DeepMind's artificial-intelligence program best known as the first computer program to defeat a professional human player at the boardgame Go. The AI had been trained to tackle the Chinese game "Go," which is a 2,000-plus year old abstract war simulation.
