In the original Blade Runner--set in 2019--technologists had already developed replicant humans and flying cars. Although I'm doubtful we'll hit that mark in real life, I'd venture we're not too far off. Indeed, artificial intelligence (AI) has already become an everyday part of life for most humans in 2017. We use it at work and at home--often without even realizing. As we close out the year, I'd say there isn't much artificial intelligence hasn't touched.
