IBM Has Designed An AI System That Can Alter Your Opinions

IBM has designed an artificial intelligence system that can debate with humans. The company published a paper in the journal called Nature, where one of the team members described the AI system and how well it performed against a human opponent. Chris Reed, a professor in the University of Dundee has published a News & Views article in the same journal throwing light on the history and development of artificial intelligence as a disruptive technology based around the types of logic used in human arguments and the system created by IBM. As Reed explains in his piece, debating is a skill that humans have been perfecting for thousands of years. It's usually a type of discussion in which a person or a group persuades others that their opinion on a subject is right.
