Three Things You Need to Know About Artificial Intelligence

Your life is about to be significantly changed by Artificial Intelligence (AI), whether you want it to be or not. Every once in while, something happens that tosses a huge rock into the pond of human affairs. Such rocks include things like the discovery of fire, the invention of the wheel, written language, movable type, the telegraph, computers, and the Internet. These kinds of massive disturbances produce pronounced, remarkable, unexpected changes, and radically alter human life. Artificial Intelligence is just such a rock, and will produce exactly those kinds of disturbances. We're not prepared for the tsunami that AI is going to throw at us. AI has been the technology of the future since the 1960s, but one that always seemed just over the horizon, and never arrived.
