We are in the very early stages of development of true Artificial Intelligence. AI is a broad term that encompasses many different technologies. One can think of AI as falling into 3 major categories:
Weak AI- This is artificial intelligence at its most basic. This is AI that has been programmed to learn from its environment. It is what we see in many of our smartphones today.
Supervised AI- This is a step up from weak AI. It still requires a programmer to define the rules of the environment, but it also has an ability to learn from its own environment. This is most commonly used in self-driving cars.
Unsupervised AI- This is Artificial Intelligence that does not require a programmer to define the rules of the environment. This is AI that is able to learn on its own.
Unsupervised AI is the most exciting area of research in our field. It is the field of AI that will drive the greatest amount of change in our society.
Do we really want AI?
The World Economic Forum predicts that the AI industry alone will have a $1 trillion impact on the world by 2025.
A recent survey showed that 80% of Americans believe AI will have a positive impact on society.
We have to be careful in our use of AI. It is a powerful tool that has the potential to create a great deal of good for society, but it will also have a negative impact on jobs and could very well lead to a dystopian future where humans are no longer the dominant species on the planet.
What is the state of Blockchain?
Blockchain currently is in the very early stages of development. It is not currently being used in the majority of industries, but it is being used in some industries.
The blockchain is capable of creating a decentralized peer-to-peer network that has the potential to be highly secure. This technology has many applications, but the most exciting application is in the finance industry.
A blockchain can be used to create a decentralized digital currency that can be used to transfer money worldwide without the need for a third party.
Many believe that blockchain technology will disrupt the finance industry, but it is likely that the technology will be used in the finance industry, but not disrupt it.
What is the state of Augmented and Virtual Reality?
The state of Augmented Reality is currently in the very early stages of development. Augmented Reality is technology that places computer generated information on top of the real world.
Virtual Reality is a very broad term, but it can be thought of as a computer generated environment that can be seen through a computer screen.
Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality have been staples in science fiction for decades. It is only recently that technology has advanced to a point where augmented and virtual reality is possible.
Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality are often used interchangeably, but there is a difference between the two. Augmented Reality places computer generated information on top of the real world, but the real world is still visible. Virtual Reality completely replaces the real world with a computer generated environment.
Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality are currently in the very early stages of development. There are numerous issues to be solved before these technologies are mature.
The technology itself is complex. It requires a great deal of hardware and software to create an augmented or virtual reality experience.
The user interface of augmented or virtual reality must be made much easier to use.
The technology must be made available to the majority of people. It currently requires a great deal of either money or technical skills to create a decent augmented or virtual reality experience.
What is the state of Artificial Intelligence and Blockchain?
The state of Artificial Intelligence and Blockchain is currently in the very early stages of development.
Blockchain is still in its very early stages of development. It is being used in a small number of industries, but it is not being used in the majority of industries.
Artificial Intelligence is also in the very early stages of development. It is being used in a small number of industries, but it is not being used in the majority of industries.
The potential for Artificial Intelligence and Blockchain to change our society is enormous. Both have the potential to create a great deal of good for society, but they also have the potential to create a great deal of harm.
We are currently in the very early stages of development for both of these technologies.
Conclusion
We are in the very early stages of development for both Artificial Intelligence and Blockchain.
A great deal of work must be done to make these technologies mature enough to be used by the majority of people.
The potential for both of these technologies is enormous. They have the potential to create a great deal of good for society, but they also have the potential to create a great deal of harm.
We are currently in a stage where technology is still being developed. It is not yet ready for mass consumption.
We need to be careful in our use of this technology. It is a powerful tool that has the potential to create a great deal of good for society, but it can also lead to a dystopian future where humans are no longer the dominant species on the planet.
