Artificial intelligence isn't all about the Terminator, tech sceptics are warned

What is really going on in politics? Arnold Schwarzenegger's Terminator character is a top example of artificial intelligence, according to nearly one-in-five confused Britons. Some 19% believed Arnie's cyborg assassin from the 1984 blockbuster film was a prime illustration of the technology. The revelation stands in stark contrast to Prime Minister Boris Johnson's claim in a speech last week that Britain could "lead the world" in AI. A survey carried out into people's understanding of artificial intelligence lays bare how much work remains to be done.
