Artificial intelligence will not overtake humans in near future, says IBM Director

Although computers are getting smarter and intelligent due to the advancement of artificial intelligence but these man-made machines will not overtake the humans in coming few years, says IBM Research Director Arvind Krishna. Krishna is also the Senior Vice-President of IBM and heads the arm that developed award-winning cognitive computing system named Watson that is currently being used in several complex tasks including treatment of cancer. Krishna said that a machine does what it is taught by humans and it just follows the given instructions. A machine cannot overtake humans until it starts doing things on its own and that day will not come at least in'our living lifetimes'. Greatest living Physicist Stephen Hawking and Engineer-entrepreneur Elon Musk have claimed the artificial intelligence as a demon that will bite us back someday in future.
