Artificial Intelligence (AI) is arguably the most revolutionary technology in several decades that would completely turn the world upside down and then shape it along with new contours. AI will reinvent everything from the nature of work to our modes of communication and transportation. The'creative destruction' unleashed by AI would make a large number of current skills and jobs redundant while opening avenues for new skills. The preeminence of AI and its far-reaching influence can be gauged from the fact that the nascent AI rivalry between USA and China has been dubbed as'The New Space Race'. In 2018, increase in AI-based applications, anxiety about a'war of the worlds' esque robotic workforce and China outpacing USA in the number of AI startups and AI related patents were the most highlighted AI trends.
