AI (Artificial Intelligence) is everywhere and it's here to stay. It now powers so many real world applications, ranging from facial recognition to language translator and assistants.
There are many who believe that AI has potential to become more significant than even the internet. Availability of enormous amount of data combine with huge leap in computational power and huge improvement in engineering skills should help AI, backed with deep learning, to make huge impact across various facets of human life.
The last time there was a serious discussion about machines making humans redundant was at the beginning of the industrial revolution. Newly invented machines and industrial engineering principles put forward by F.W. Taylor treated humans as a replaceable parts of an assembly line. No one cares for the men who lost their jobs to machines, nor the men who worked on those machines.
The future of AI depends upon superior data analytics and engineering capability. But to make sure that these new technological Marvels are loved by all, AI products have to understand the conscious and subconscious fears it might generate among its target audience. Interventions to allay those fears have to be incorporated as an integral part of the product design. Yes, to achieve it's true potential, AI has to become less and less Artificial.
AI has significant potential for the future.
