New Report Outlines Potential of Artificial Intelligence

How much of our lives will be changed by artificial intelligence? According to a new report, by 2030, large urban cities will be transformed as self-driving cars, package-delivering robots and surveillance drones become a common phenomenon of the streets. Produced by an international panel of artificial intelligence experts, convened by Stanford University, the report takes an in-depth look at how artificial intelligence is already impacting society, and how it will continuously evolve over the next 14 years. "Until now, most of what is known about AI comes from science fiction books and movies," said Peter Stone, a computer science professor at the University of Texas who chaired the panel that produced the report. "This study provides a realistic foundation to discuss how AI technologies are likely to affect society."
