Can a machine tell you which movie you’re going to like watching next? Can it call a restaurant to make a reservation for you? Can its driving be safer than yours? Of course!
Today, these artificially intelligent (AI) machines are doing a great job at simulating human intelligence. AI has been helping us to make more informed decisions, lending us a hand in our day-to-day chores, and has made our lives a lot easier.
Even though there’s been a lot of progress in the field of AI, the intelligence of these machines is still weak. That is because Siri will land you up in a car crash faster than you can say “unfair”, and Tesla may as well drive you safely to a restaurant where a two-hour queue awaits. Each can perform only the task it has been taught to do. This is called Applied AI.
