Artificial intelligence in here and now

If I got a dollar every time artificial intelligence (AI) came up in a conversation around jobs, I would be very rich by now. I want to spend a few minutes on the potential of AI--the way I see it. And let me tell you, it's not in the future, it's here and now. There is no point being an ostrich and burying our heads in the sand. Automation has been part of our fabric since 1771, with the advent of the first fully automated spinning mill, and continues to be an integral part of every manufacturing process.
