A.I. is this year's buzzword of choice across the Tech industry, and speculation about what this field can achieve is already running rife. Let's separate fact from fiction and make some sense of all the hype. As we start the new year, the Tech propaganda machine is already ramping up its next generation of buzzwords, promising paradigm shifts and silver bullets that will make whole industries obsolete, enable huge efficiency gains, and make the world a better place. Blockchain, which used to top keyword search trends and social media posts, suffered a significant decline in interest, partly due to the fact that its initial hype was residual from the Bitcoin bubble. It seems that this year's buzzword of choice is going to be Artificial Intelligence.

Artificial Intelligence has become a very popular term today. There is sure to be at least one article in the newspaper daily on the revolutionary advancements made in the field. But, there seems to be some confusion about what AI really is. Will the Terminator movie actually come true? Or is it something that has crept into our daily lives without us even realizing it? This article will give you a broad understanding on the buzzwords associated with AI, its applications, the careers & opportunities it has and its future.

Artificial intelligence--the mere words bring on a myriad of conflicting emotions. Images of The Matrix swim before your eyes. That is until you remember how helpful Siri is when you can't put your finger on the name of a song on the radio. "You seem to be listening to'Come On Eileen' by Dexy's Midnight Runners, but don't ask me to sing it." Aside from the fact that you should probably know this song, Siri is both useful and playful, no doubt. It's not a new topic of contention, but artificial intelligence (AI) is more relevant than ever.
