AI refers to computational tools that can perform certain tasks in place of human intelligence. Technology is advancing at a breakneck speed, much like the exponential growth experienced by database technology in the late twentieth century. As a result, databases have evolved into the core infrastructure for enterprise-level software. In a similar fashion, most of the new value-added in software over the coming decades is expected to come from AI, at least in part. AI is used everywhere, from the modern smart phones to advanced quantum computers. Hence, in this day and age, it's crucial that you understand the basics, if not advanced, of the concepts involved in artificial intelligence.

The practice of science involves trying to find things out about the world by using rigid logic and testing every assumption. Researchers then write up any important findings in papers and submit them for possible publication. After a peer-review process, in which other scientists check that the research is sound, journals publish papers for public consumption. You might therefore reasonably believe that published papers are quite reliable and meet high-quality standards. You might expect small mistakes that got overlooked during peer review, but no major blunders. You'd be wrong in expecting this, though.

When we get to a point where literally just about everything can be done more cheaply and more efficiently by robots, the elite won't have any use for the rest of us at all. For most of human history, the wealthy have needed the poor to do the work that is necessary to run their businesses and make them even wealthier. In this day and age we like to call ourselves "employees", but in reality we are their servants. Some of us may be more well paid than others, but the vast majority of us are expending our best years serving their enterprises so that we can pay the bills. Unfortunately, that paradigm is rapidly changing, and many of the jobs that humans are doing today will be done by robots in the not too distant future.

In today's day and age, everything is going digital. Nearly everything is becoming automated or streamlined, and businesses are increasingly looking for new ways to implement cutting-edge and innovative technology like artificial intelligence, virtual reality, and augmented reality. For instance, in recent years, AI-equipped chatbots have become the talk of the town when it comes to modern business. Not only do these bots allow businesses to connect with their customers in new exciting, engaging, and interactive ways, it also helps them streamline some of their customer service processes. Furthermore, chatbots have become so popular among businesses, that they have even made their way into the marketer's arsenal of marketing strategies.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is now a part of our lives whether we know it or not, and whether we accept it or not. It has risen to such a status over the years in a slow but steady manner. Everything that we do like buying clothes and shoes on the internet as well as watching shows on TV is influenced to various extents by AI. However, the question that needs to be asked in this context is what effect would this have on education? The fact of the matter is that AI does not take away, in way, shape, or form, from the classroom. Rather it makes the classroom experience a lot better than before.
