The boring truth about artificial intelligence Access AI

Recent advances in artificial intelligence (AI) mean that soon no-one will need to go on holiday, have dinner in a restaurant, watch a film, or even go on a date. Thanks to the miracle of technology, we'll be able to send the machines to perform these tiresome chores for us, freeing up valuable time for much more satisfying tasks such as completing our tax returns. This dystopian vision is obviously ridiculous, but it illustrates how we're getting the conversation about AI the wrong way around. Consider, for example, how most stories about AI focus on how technology can beat the world's best Go player, or write genuinely frightening horror stories. All this is terribly clever, but it doesn't help businesses to harness the power of AI.
