Technology has greatly affected our lives over the years. Now, a study from Stanford University has revealed how artificial intelligence (A.I.) may change people's lifestyle -- from transportation, employment, health and household chores -- by the year 2030. According to a Stanford report entitled "Artificial Intelligence and Life in 2030," A.I. will be more common and will, in fact, be helpful in terms of improving the economy and everyday quality of life. "A.I. technologies can be reliable and broadly beneficial. Being transparent about their design and deployment challenges will build trust and avert unjustified fear and suspicion," said Barbara Grosz, a computer scientist from Harvard and chair of AI100 (Stanford's One Hundred Year Study on Artificial Intelligence) via Computer World. The study reveals that in 2030, autonomous vehicles will roam the streets.

Scientists at the Stanford University have released the first report of their One Hundred Year Study on Artificial Intelligence (AI100), in which they try to predict the potential impacts of artificial intelligence on human life in the long run. Known as "Artificial Intelligence and Life in 2030," the report comes just two years since the researchers began their work. It focuses on the history of AI technology and how it is being used in various fields today, such as in the development of robots for medical purposes and self-driving vehicles for transportation. Experts believe the Stanford study is important not only for researchers but for policymakers as well who may need to create new laws that would better cater to such technological advancements. AI100 is the brainchild of Eric Horvitz, managing director of Microsoft Research's Redmond laboratory.
