Tim Cook is 'really stoked' about AI

Apple CEO Tim Cook is "really jazzed" about artificial intelligence. In a new interview with TIME, he said that AI, or a machine's ability to simulate human intelligence like logic and reasoning, is the most promising innovation of today for two simple reasons. It's "everywhere" and it has the potential to "make people's lives easier." AI is already present in "a number of products that you don't really think about," he said. He gave examples you can see if you just look down at your iPhone, from the way it recognizes your face and fingerprint, to "the way that Siri works," and even how photos are grouped together. "I see that we're at the very early stages of what it can do for people and how it can make people's lives easier," he said.
