AI 'engine of 4th industrial revolution'

Artificial intelligence is hard to define, but it is affecting everyone's lives already and will shape the world's future, a visiting world leader in the field says. "I think a lot of people don't realise what we call narrow AI is already in their homes and computers," Ms Kay Firth-Butterfield said. "I always say that AI is the engine of the fourth industrial revolution. For example, people talk a lot about the changes autonomous vehicles will bring, but you wouldn't have autonomous vehicles without the underpinning of artificial intelligence." An English lawyer, Ms Firth-Butterfield has a background in both law and international relations.
