The AI Effect - Netopia

Artificial intelligence – defining it is like trying to lift water with your hands. In part maybe because it has such mythical proportion (Can it "wake up"? Might it wipe out the human race? Can it fix global warming?). In part maybe because it is the domain of especially smart experts. Or maybe for other reasons, in any case the concept of AI is both real business and a canvas onto which we project our fears and dreams.
