Our current era is now in the so-called third artificial intelligence (AI) boom. Professor Hirokazu Takahashi has been engaged in brain research using the techniques of reverse engineering, an approach that strives to shed light on the underlying structure of products by taking them apart. According to Takahashi, there are two types of intellectual cleverness, and fundamental differences distinguish our brains from artificial intelligence. In rat experiments, "futility" or "uselessness" is a key word that frequently comes into perspective. If we understand the features of the brain, is it not "futile" to be "uselessly" fearful of AI?

Though some forms of AI shows its cleverness, it would be impractical to assume that current AI counterparts human intelligence. If the murmur around Artificial Intelligence (AI) has made you nervous that it will soon displace your job as the technology works more promptly than human brain. But the truth is that AI actually empowers workers to centre on higher-level thinking and crafting. This is not a hindrance; rather it is needed for a workplace. Currently, AI is providing human intelligence all over the continuum from banking to media.

Often, AI is rolled up into one large, homogeneous, conceptual ball of smart, mysterious, powerful, scary technology. In reality, AI is a range of disciplines starting from the mundane and simplistic to the immensely deep and convoluted brain-like networks. Certainly, our current state of AI encompasses some manner of cleverness. There are types of cleverness, but there are also classes of intelligence that we can categorize much like we compartmentalize the types of human intelligence. Today, it is generally recognized that human intelligence can be categorized into different classes: musical, linguistic, logical-mathematical, etc. The cleverness that we witness in today's technology is a moving target.

As we are entering the fourth Industrial Revolution, more and more of our jobs will be replaced by robots and algorithms. Some estimates claim that 5 million jobs or more will be lost to machines by 2020. And it's not science fiction or paranoia; as advances in big data, deep learning, robotics, and artificial intelligence increase exponentially, so does the number and variety of jobs that machines will be able to do -- not just well, but better. So how do you know if your job is one of the ones at risk? One way to think about your job and how vulnerable it is is to distinguish between Algorithmic and Heuristic work.

The people who are selling these machines want them to augment human intelligence, not replace it #ROSS #LegalTech https://t.co/TfcQ4Fm9mf With news that ROSS, the world's first AI lawyer, built upon IBM's Watson was'hired' by law firm Baker & Hostetler, there was much weeping and gnashing of teeth by organic, flesh-and-bone lawyers. They were then summarily rounded up by their new machine overlords and sealed in pods where their bioelectric energy was harnessed and used to power the very computers that now subjugated them. But for all the alarm-raising over the rise of AI and what it means for tomorrow's legal professionals, does machine intelligence pose a legitimate threat to the practice of law by human beings? Will clients in the near future be represented in court by Lawbot 3000?
