Don't call it AI (but it's still innovative)

AI has long been portrayed as both an opportunity and a threat to humankind. We've seen AI medical image processing identify a large volume of eye-patients' macular degeneration, and we've seen deep learning trawl astral data searching for habitable exoplanets. Yet the negative hype around AI would have you believe that we're heading straight for a Terminator-style apocalypse. The reality of course, is far less extravagant. Today there are plenty of systems that are AI-led, like convolutional neural networks for example, which can be used to identify faces in a picture.
