We must not be kept in dark about AI

There are many grand promises about the power of artificial intelligence. When we talk about the future of technology, AI has become so ubiquitous that many people don't even know what artificial intelligence is any more. That's particularly concerning given how advanced the technology has become and who controls it. While some might think of AI in terms of thinking robots or something in a science-fiction novel, the fact is that advanced AI already influences a great deal of our lives. From smart assistants to grammar extensions that live in our Web browsers, AI code is already embedded into the fabric of the Internet.
