Named BostInno 25 under 25. Artificial intelligence (AI) is increasingly becoming a dominant part of everyday life. Whether you are aware of it or not, intelligent algorithms are all around us, trying to predict and understand you so they can help make your life easier in some way. For example, Netflix's AI engine automatically recommends shows to you based on what you've watched in the past. Organizations are steadily making AI core to the way their businesses are operated by automating repetitive tasks.

Economically, this makes sense since most companies become more capital-efficient when a process or a role is automated.

'It's not opening the gates of hell, but it's not a paradise,' Kasparov says about AI. Artificial intelligence learns from us, so we should really fear bad actors, not killer robots. Garry Kasparov was one of the first victims of the AI automation revolution. His loss to IBM's Deep Blue made him the first human chess champion to lose a match to a computer. But Kasparov is not jaded; his book, Deep Thinking, explores how AI can actually help us become more human. The real challenge, Kasparov told me at SXSW in Austin earlier this month, is keeping these tools from the humans who want to use them to do harm. And in that regard, we may already be too late. Dan Costa: After a career playing chess and battling Deep Blue, you've since then become a chess AI expert of sorts.

That's the bot talking, offering a breezy response to a mildly apologetic email: Your coworker wants to reschedule a meeting? And they've proposed a new time? If you've opted in to Gmail's Smart Replies, these exchanges should look familiar. But us humans are proving eager to make the trade: More than 10 percent of all replies on Gmail now start with a suggested Smart Reply. The apps we rely on to stay productive at the office are being infused with ever larger helpings of artificial intelligence.

And it's no Lee Israel--she'd balk at all the fast- flying verbal inanities. I speak of Smart Reply, Google's answer, in the form of a triad of autogenerated responses, to the problem of email. Just the other day, it saw fit to butt-reply to a frenemy of mine, "I'll be there!" This in response to an invitation I had planned to ignore. Not only do I now have to attend; I must be excited!

Dreaming of sheep or hacking creativity for abundance?Depositphotos enhanced by CogWorld "We now live in a global, exponential world," Steven Kotler tells my coauthor Michael Ashley and I from his Santa Monica office. We're interviewing the New York Times bestselling author and entrepreneur for our upcoming book: Uber Yourself Before You Get Kodaked: A Modern Primer on A.I. for the Modern Business. "You need to understand our brains evolved in a local, linear environment. But in the 21st century, according to research done by Ray Kurzweil, we will experience over 20,000 years' worth of change. To put it succinctly, over the next 80-something years we will go through the birth of agriculture to the industrial revolution -- twice -- in terms of our technological advancement."

People have been using beauty products to enhance their eyes, brighten their skin or smooth their hair since ancient Egyptian times. But over the years, the beauty market has grown into a $445 billion industry, with companies competing to sell us different versions of the same thing. Brands like Glossier and Milk have garnered impressive cult followings, thanks to their social media-friendly packaging and refreshing approach to beauty. But, by and large, most brands seem to be all about finding the next trendy ingredient, featuring it in their products and convincing us that their formula is better than the others on the market. The fact is, certain products don't work for certain people.

On Tuesday, a privacy and security report published by Gizmodo revealed that Google and the Pentagon are collaborating on developing drones. Known as Project Maven, the Department of Defense pilot project involves analyzing, combing through, defining, and categorizing visual data amassed by aerial drones. It wouldn't be too far off to say the project would function as the Pentagon's all-seeing eye. According to Greg Allen, a Center for a New American Society adjunct fellow, the current amount of obtained footage is so vast it isn't possible for human analysts at the defense agency to sift through it and correctly define objects in the footage. As it stands, the United States' drone strike program is already criticized by human rights groups like Reprieve for reportedly killing hundreds of civilians in Pakistan, Afghanistan, Yemen, and beyond in spite of claims of "surgical" precision from former CIA director John Brennan in 2011.
