The idea of artificial intelligence (AI) has been around for millennia. Stories of AI are scattered throughout history and across the globe: Hephaestus, of Greek mythology, "created" golden robots; Yan Shi (1023–957 BC, Zhou Dynasty) "built" a mechanical man; Leonardo Da Vinci constructed a Robotic Knight. What was once a dream or some crazy figment of one's imagination, has since become an evolving reality. Aristotle (384–322 BC) came up with what we could arguably call a simple notion: syllogism. At the core, it relies on logic and reasoning to deduce a conclusion.

Two and a half years ago, President Obama called on the FCC to classify broadband internet as a utility. It joined a small club that you know well: electricity, gas, and running water. And now this club may be welcoming yet another new member. Is artificial intelligence the newest utility? Are we witnessing the dawn of AI being as ubiquitous as running water?
