Artificial Intelligence will cause a revolution of awareness, not the rise of distrust

The latest innovations in automation and AI are surrounded by controversy. Thanks to films such as the Terminator, we have been painted a picture of what happens when AI goes stupendously wrong. This fear does little to assuage the distrust of automated processes and machine learning, but what are the benefits? Though this technology is a long way off doing mouth to mouth or hoovering my living room, it does provide many benefits. For example, you can use voice commands to control smart devices like lights, thermostats and switches from home automation systems, manage everyday tasks like shopping lists and even play music.
