Why AI Isn't Going to Kill You Or Steal Your Job - Dataconomy

We recently had the opportunity to sit down with Kris Hammond, the Chief Scientist for Narrative Science. Narrative Science focuses around automating text generated from data, turning raw data into insightful accounts. Hammond has spent over 20 years working in and developing the AI labs at the University of Chicago and Northwestern University, making him uniquely placed to offer perspectives on the past, present and future of AI. In the first part of our discussion, we discussed the technologies which will shape the future of machine learning; in this installment, Hammond discusses the future of AI, and whether or not robots could actually wipe out humanity and steal our jobs. When we talk about AI, almost anyone you talk with will say that they think that AI image- the genuine artificial intelligence that is building a system as intelligent, if not more intelligent than a human being- is simply not feasible or possible.
