Throughout time, humans have been fascinated by the idea of machines "thinking" like humans. In Eagle Eye we became acquainted with ARIIA (an Autonomous Reconnaissance Intelligence Integration Analyst), in Her, we were introduced to Samantha (a highly capable computer program that doubled as a personal assistant), in Ex Machina we fell for Ava (a humanoid robot with genuine human traits) and in I, Robot, we befriended Sonny (a friendly robot). Concepts like machine learning, robotics, deep learning and artificial intelligence, have been thrown around, here and there, spiking our interest and commercializing these once scientific concepts. But what exactly is artificial intelligence, and what are its implications? John McCarthy, an American computer scientist and cognitive scientist coined the term "artificial intelligence" in 1955 describing it as "every aspect of learning or any other feature of intelligence can in principle be so precisely described that a machine can be made to stimulate it. An attempt will be made to find how to make machines use language, form abstractions and concepts, solve kinds of problems now reserved for humans, and improve themselves".
