Artificial Intelligence

Edited by Justin Healey

Artificial intelligence (AI) has been quietly evolving from futuristic scenarios in sci-fi movie plots and into the factual present day. Put simply, AI is a computer system that can do tasks that humans need intelligence to do. AI is already transforming the way we live, work, travel and communicate. From the development of driverless cars, to the machine learning and algorithms that already power our mobile phones, voice-activated assistants and the Internet of Things, we are co-existing and engaging daily with AI-enabled technology, including robots. However, along with the potential to improve our quality of life, AI risks compromising some human rights and freedoms. We all need to better understand how AI is being developed, used and regulated as it becomes more embedded and empowered in the world around us. What is artificial intelligence, how does it work, and what are the benefits and ethical concerns? The robot revolution is happening right now - how much do you really know about the impacts of AI on your everyday life?
