I think like most people, my knowledge of AI comes from the cinematic experience or the internet. From that computer in 2001: a space Odyssey, to the viral video of Will Smith and Sophia. However, almost imperceptibly, AI has been with us for a long time and occupying important spaces in our lives. An example of this can be Siri. This is just one of the systems that, nowadays, can understand what you tell them.
Every day, more and more systems are created that can transcribe human language, reaching hundreds of thousands through interactive voice response systems and mobile applications. Also Biometrics, a technology that can identify, measure and analyze human behavior and the physical aspects of the structure and shape of the body. These are some of the many advances that are being made.
I believe that IT, in an effective way has stopped being a simple fantasy to become a great reality. We would have to see how powerful AI will be and how helpless and exposed human beings will be. Thank you for the interesting text, @samminator and @adsactly for sharing.
