A.I. of the People, by the People, for the People – Becoming Human: Artificial Intelligence Magazine

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is fundamentally different than any other technology we have ever created because it has the ability to learn and improve its own functions. It isn't always correct and it often compounds biases but these powerful technologies connect and reveal patterns that we've never seen before. AI technologies will be able to connect to vast datastores, for types of data that doesn't even exist today, to alert us to opportunities and dangers alike, and often to act on these automatically. We cannot foresee just how big the impact of these systems are and that's both a concern and an aspiration. Technology does not improve arithmetically; it improves exponentially.
