The Hitchhiker Guide to A.I.

'If there is Artificial Intelligence then we won't need to think' said my recently-turned-ten daughter, on our way driving her to a piano lesson. She left me speechless while I was trying, in vain, to remove from my mind a sticky image from the movie'The Hitchhiker guide to the Galaxy'. A supercomputer called'Deep Thought' which, after 7,5 million years of calculations rendered the answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, the Universe and Everything, or, namely, the number 42. Quirky cult movies aside, the impact of artificial intelligence is immense, and the implications phenomenal. Artificial Intelligence (A.I.) is on the hype again. There are dystopian, terminator-like views backed up with warnings from renowned scientists, Stephen Hawking to start with. Even Tesla and SpaceX founder Elon Musk appeared on CNBC's'Closing Bell' cautioning about the potential risks of this technology.
