Research proves that artificial intelligence is helping scientists in forming a testable hypothesis which further helps the experts in running real experiments. In future, this technology may help in making business decisions. It is believed that the next robot in the horizon might wear a lab coat.

Machines Won't Rule Humans Entirely

A Scientist at Future Technology Conference stated that humans and machines have complementary skill sets and in future machines will turn to be a strong partner to humans. In fact, it would be a realm of Big Data. LiveScience reports that machines are good at mathematical computations and there is no need to fear that in future robots will surpass humans in all capacity. Machines are capable of outpacing mere mortals at many tasks.

Artificial Intelligence Is More Artificial Rather Than intelligent

The existing AI technology is unable to master the simplest challenges without human-provided context, Wired reports. Today's version of AI cannot turn out to be a silver bullet to any of the societal problems or business. It is all because of human hand-holding that these machines are able to deliver dominating performance.

Bill Gates And Elon Musk Fear That AI Can Lead To Human Extinction

Ninety percent of the data in the world was created in last two years. It is also a fact that 2.5 Exabyte's of data are created every day.

Machines have already led to dramatic disruptions in industries like finance, transportation healthcare and marketing but it is not Artificial Intelligence. In the coming days, AI can really prove intelligent but an optimistic and realistic approach can lead to better outcome.

While accepting AI the future may have to face a whole other set of problems like the Sky net as the machines will be able to operate without context. Currently, AI projects are only focused on applications like photo identification and Black Friday insights.
