Artificial Intelligence... Are we there yet?

If you think artificial intelligence is something coming in the future, think again: Most people already use artificial intelligence on a daily basis, even if they do not think of it as such. Artificial intelligence or AI simply refers to machine learning put into action toward a goal. When you ask Siri or Cortana to call work or remind you about a dentist appointment, you are relying on artificial intelligence. See what AI is already doing in the modern economy and how future developments in the field of artificial intelligence might impact your life. While we tend to speak about artificial intelligence as if it were one thing, according to AI expert Nick Bostrom, there are three predominant types or flavours of artificial intelligence: The oracle, the genie, and the sovereign.
