Artificial Intelligence: Nimble startups can develop breakthrough technologies - The Economic Times

In the not-so-distant future, children will be amazed by stories that we allowed relative strangers to steer one tonne machines, relying on human skill and instinct over the capabilities of computers. The field of artificial intelligence has a transformative capability over many things that govern our daily lives. Consider self-driving cars: about 33,000 people are killed in automobile accidents in the US every year and most fatalities can be traced back to humans. Companies across technology and automobile industries are pouring millions of dollars into using AI to drive new breakthroughs in this field. Already, cars by Tesla have limited self-drive capabilities and we will soon see this rapidly increasing.
