Stop Fixating on the 'Artificial' in AI Because It's Actually an Evolution of Our Own Intelligence

Like many people, I feel apprehension whenever I hear or read the phrase "artificial intelligence." The expression often evokes images of the Terminator coming to exterminate people -- or take their jobs. However, firsthand experience has taught me there's nothing artificial about intelligence. In practice, AI is an extension of human intelligence that's guided by people. Far from spelling your doom, AI is more likely to save your life.
