Among fictional buzzwords like "telepathy," "cyberspace," "parallel universe," and so on – what's undeniably popular and real is "AI" -- artificial intelligence. The idea that a machine can exhibit the same level of intelligence and sentience as a human being has captured much interest today. This idea has increasingly become popular in the workplace: The World Economic Forum forecasts that due to technologies like machines and algorithms, "133 million new jobs [are] expected to be created by 2022 compared to 75 million that will be displaced." A report published by Tractica, showed that AI revenue could grow from $643.7 million in 2016 to $36.8 billion by 2025. These billion-dollar facts could leave a surprisingly awakening question -- is the future going to be AI-oriented, and will humans be left out of it?

As what was once mere data evolves into actionable intelligence, the context that binds that data becomes ever more essential. With no context around those four letters, you might not understand the reference or make any sort of connection. But if you add just one word to "java," such as "development," "island," or "coffee," the reference changes completely--and that's with just a single word of context. This is the type of active context and connection that the Brainspace engine provides. "Context is a very important part of what we do. When we analyze documents, we take the context into consideration," says Ravi Sathyanna, vice president of technology and product management at Brainspace.

The greatest bar to wise action and the greatest source of fear is ignorance. A tiny candle gives misleading light and throws huge and ominous shadows. The sun at noon gives great light and throws no shadows. It is time to get this whole problem of men and machines under a blazing noonday beam. Computers will never rob man of his initiative or replace the need for his creative thinking. By freeing man from the more menial or repetitive forms of thinking, computers will actually increase the opportunities for the full use of human reason.
