Artificial Intelligence: Growth, Opportunities and Threats

We are in the middle of a technological revolution. Artificial intelligence (AI) has the potential to fundamentally transform the world around us -- the way we communicate, work, and conduct our daily lives. While artificial intelligence has made significant advances in recent years, its inception goes back more than six decades. Put simply, "Artificial intelligence is the activity devoted to making machines intelligent, and intelligence is that quality which enables an entity to function appropriately with foresight in its environment." Artificial intelligence encompasses deep learning, computer vision, robotics, collaborative systems, machine learning and natural learning process among other things.
