With the excitement of every technological advancement comes a wave of fear and uncertainty. We've seen this scenario play out repeatedly since the Industrial Revolution as people wrestled with the impact of new technology on their lives and work. Today we see that fear bubble up in the wake of every AI breakthrough. Despite huge progress in recent years, AI is still in its early days and with that comes a level of uncertainty. This uncertainty is only compounded when glitches arise or expectations outweigh reality, which leads to misunderstanding and anxiety.

I'm an enthusiastic realist when it comes to technology. What motivates me is not the machine, but what it can do to help us to solve problems. More sophisticated machines allow us to tackle more complex problems. You may have heard that AI is going to solve all our problems. Or did you hear that it's going to steal our jobs, enslave and then destroy us?
