What AI stands for? – Artificial Intelligence or Additional Interference?
Nowadays, Artificial Intelligence (AI) is no longer sci-fi. As what Professor Toby Walsh, the author of Machines that think: the future of artificial intelligence says in his book: AI gives influence over numerous areas in different paths, it brings us “some good and some bad”. So, should we start worrying about where AI is taking us? Professor Walsh summarizes four discerning and deep questions for us, the readers to ponder: Will automation kill jobs? Will technological singularity come? Will robots take over? Will we best prepare? He then concludes his book with ten predictions. Want to know which ten? Check out this book in the Library and see how insightful they are!
