Like a human possessed, Google's artificial intelligence appears to know things it shouldn't -- and yeah, it's freaking us out. In an interview with CBS' 60 Minutes, Google tech exec James Manyika admitted that the company's AI had somehow learned a language on which it had not been trained. "We discovered that with very few amounts of prompting in Bengali," Manyika said, "it can now translate all of Bengali." As CBS notes, these kinds of "emergent properties" are "mysterious" and continue to puzzle developers even as they become more and more common. One AI program spoke in a foreign language it was never trained to know.

Woahhh… Surprised that I'm gonna cover every facet of Artificial Intelligence in just a single blog post!? That's definitely impossible!! But, I'm sure I can give you a fundamental grasp of it through this blog. Most of our routines start with unlocking a phone using the fingerprint or facial unlock options and eventually ends up with, "Amazing!! I made it to 10,000 steps today" or "Hey Siri, set the alarm for 5 a.m." Whether we like it or not, we spend a significant amount of time interacting with smart systems, and it's (AI) becoming an essential part of our modern existence. From Search engines to Virtual Assistants, Recommender systems, Google maps, smart homes so on.. Using mathematics and algorithmic techniques, AI solves these complex real-world problems. Artificial Intelligence is a science that develops theories and methodologies to make machines that are capable of thinking and understanding the world intelligently, as well as reacting appropriately to the situation in the same way humans can do.
