Artificial Intelligence

The idea of AI has been around for decades. But recent advances have completely transformed what we can achieve with the technology. And as a result, many experts believe we're teetering on the edge of an AI revolution. This is fantastic news if you're struggling with really knotty problems like how to cure incurable diseases, or solve world hunger, or even design safer and faster ways of getting from A to B. Here, smart machines are already paving the way to doing things that would have been impossible without them. But there are downsides to creating machines that can think and act way faster than humans; and often in ways that we don't fully understand.
