#20- Artificial Intelligence

Artificial Intelligence was a term coined in the 20th century as a means of referring to giving computers the ability to autonomously make decisions for simple tasks; however, the rapid development in the field of AI has led to the creation of machines that will transform our very lives in the not so distant future. In the 20th episode of Beyond the Present Podcast Danny and Poujix join Marvin to discuss the issue of Artificial Intelligence and how it is going to transform the way we will live and work.  What is AI and what is capable of doing? Can AI become a new species superior to humanity? How will AI take away our jobs in the coming years and decades? Who is to blame if your self driving car kills a pedestrian? How does it feel like to hear a robot with advanced AI to  utter phrases like “I love you”  or “please do not shut me down”?  These are but a few of the questions answered in this high tech episode of BTP and if you are even remotely into futurism or technology then this episode is a must for you!
