The Truth About Artificial Intelligence

There is no denying that artificial intelligence (AI), while frequently misunderstood, has evolved rapidly as it has been adapted for various functions--as an email inbox spam filter, as the facial recognition option in social media platforms, as a tool for automating the house-hunting process, and as part of the complex algorithms used by financial institutions to detect fraud. It's found a place in the transportation, surveillance, science, medicine, and education industries. More and more it is commonly used to automate many routine tasks done online, like those in e-learning and e-commerce. Wherever there is data, and in particular massive amounts of data, there will be a need to find ways to make it consistent, understood, and actionable, and that's where AI is a game changer. One of the great concerns of AI is that it will replace the human factor in a system.
