Last week in tech: Did artificial intelligence write this post? Maybe.

Like it or not, artificial intelligence already plays a considerable role in your life. Maybe Facebook's algorithm pointed you toward this article. Maybe you just switched off a Netflix movie that magically popped up in your recommendations. Maybe you're hiding under your bed hoping that hyper-intelligent machines won't find you. OK, that last one is an exaggeration, but maybe not by as much as you'd think.
