Humans still matter when it comes to artificial intelligence

From Google's self-driving cars to Amazon's purchase predictions, artificial intelligence (AI) is any program that does something we would normally consider an intelligent human act. But as AI technology continues to develop rapidly, prominent personalities including Stephen Hawking and Bill Gates have voiced their concern about the rise of super-intelligent machines. They question they ask is: "How dangerous could AI become?" We've all watched at least one science fiction movie where an intelligent robot goes rogue and tries to destroy all humanity. And while we certainly aren't ignoring the valid concerns raised about super-intelligent machines, it is possible that AI and humans can be complementary.
