PBS/Frontline's "In The Age of AI" Is Profoundly Exciting – & Frightening

"FRONTLINE investigates the promise and perils of artificial intelligence, from fears about work and privacy to rivalry between the U.S. and China. The documentary traces a new industrial revolution that will reshape and disrupt our lives, our jobs and our world, and allow the emergence of the surveillance society." As a business technologist, I am beyond excited about the possibilities of artificial intelligence, machine learning and deep learning ("AI") and all of the application areas already impacted by the technology. The marriage of statistical analyses, adaptive pattern recognition, big data and computational efficiency to describe, explain, predict and actuate events, conditions and processes is thriving. It all came together at roughly the same time.
