Artificial Intelligence: Friendly or Frightening?
People often think of artificial intelligence as something akin to the being from the film "I,
Robot" depicted here, but experts are divided on what the future actually holds.
When people think of artificial intelligence (AI) — the study of the design of intelligent
systems and machines — talking computers like Eugene Goostman often come to mind. But most AI researchers are focused less on producing clever conversationalists and more on developing intelligent systems that make people's lives easier — from software that can recognize objects and animals, to digital assistants that cater to, and even anticipate, their owners' needs and desires.
But several prominent thinkers, including the famed physicist Stephen Hawking and billionaire entrepreneur Elon Musk, warn that the development of AI should be cause for concern.
