Artificial intelligence is no longer science fiction, but science fact

While only a handful of researchers currently have the experience and skills to work on machine learning, it is imperative that the general public understand the role AI will play in our society and learn to adapt with it. Economists argue on exact figures of unemployment, but there is no doubt that AI will alter, if not eliminate, most unskilled labor jobs. There is not enough mainstream media coverage depicting this, leaving far too many people in the dark. The "Today" show should bring in computer scientists and engineers to discuss AI instead of a fashion designer to cover an awards show.
