Dubai: Artificial intelligence (AI) will lead to another industrial revolution to benefit humankind, delegates attending the sixth World Government Summit were told on Monday. During a series of special sessions, AI experts shared the latest scientific discoveries on an issue that is on everyone's mind and smartphones. According to Kevin Kelley, founding executive director, Wired magazine, "The advancements in artificial intelligence will lead to yet another industrial revolution, which will create more jobs in the future," His comments came during a morning session that discussed the inevitability of AI and how governments can influence its development, including the technologies coming in the next 20 years and their impact on people. Kelley said that as machines are being made, they are going to be engineered in a way that makes their cognition exceed human cognition in certain dimensions. "These machines will be specialised and have variety of intelligence that exceeds ours. We are making many different types of AI minds, which will have many different types of thinking and almost none are like humans. The fact that they don't think like us is the main benefit," he said.
