Combining Humans & AI: Is It an Art(ificial) or a Science? – Avaya Blog

Time magazine recently wrote that Artificial Intelligence "is one of the hottest, least understood and most debated tech breakthroughs in modern times." You can understand why too. On one hand, AI is already a part of our daily lives in ways we might not even be aware of (think digital assistants like Apple Siri or Google Assistant, sensor data in cars to assist with driving and parking, traffic cameras, etc.) On the other hand, we've been watching sci-fi movies our whole lives where robots always conquer humanity. Gallop recently found that 73% of Americans expect the increased use of AI will eliminate more jobs than it creates, while 63% predict that new tech and smart machines will widen the gap between rich and poor. Is it any surprise then that the future of AI would be a little intimidating?
