AI demystified

#artificialintelligence 

There is a lot of AI action in Aotearoa this year. Yes, Artificial Intelligence is a red-hot topic. Many-a-talk at Tech Week last week featured the topic of AI somewhere in the mix. Layered on top of all this is a decent dollop of AI-related media hype. Fair enough; there are some intriguing stories based on comments by thought leaders such as Stephen Hawkings and Elon Musk. But the hype, I believe, contributes to some misunderstanding about exactly what AI is - and what you can and cannot do with it.
