Throughout history, artificial intelligence (AI) has been the stuff of dreams for some, and nightmares for others'. Although AI can make our lives easier – such as, answering emails for us, suggest where to eat for the Saturday romantic date, and guide our cars through jam-packed traffic – the thought of the future is welcomed with a bit of concern. AI references a machine with the help of coding that can learn and evolve based on its experiences. In layman’s terms, with advanced artificial general intelligence (AGI), androids could do anything a human could do. This usually conjures up a scenario like that of the hit series Westworld. In this week’s Feature Story we talk about the history, evolution, our relationship with machines, and how they make an impact in our day-to-day experiences.
