In surviving AI, 5 things are certain…

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is not new.

From the early thinking captured in Alan Turing’s 1950 paper ‘Computing Machinery and Intelligence’ to IBM’s Deep Blue defeating world chess champion Gary Kasparov in 1997 and Google’s Alpha Go besting Chinese Go champion Kie Je in 2017, there have been exponential shifts in both the adoption and benefits of AI.

Rapid advancements in Big Data capture and analysis combined with massive growth in storage capability has meant that today, AI applications are already a part of everyday life. This extends from GPS to chat bots, voice and facial recognition, real-time language translation, Industry 4.0 & IoT and will soon include the (imminent) mass-adoption of driverless cars. All of these examples of human interaction with various forms of AI provide assistance to and start to change the underlying nature of work, life and play.

Having said this, as yet there are no programs that can match a fully functioning human being across wider domains or in tasks that require a combination of experience (tacit knowledge) and subject-matter (codified knowledge) powered by the cognitive abilities of the human brain.
