The Importance of Artificial Intelligence, robotics and IoT & its effects on new generations workforce
Artificial intelligence (AI, also machine intelligence, MI)
is intelligence demonstrated by machines, in contrast to the natural intelligence (NI)
displayed by humans and other animals. In computer science AI research is defined
as the study of "intelligent agents": any device that perceives its environment and
takes actions that maximize its chance of successfully achieving its goals. Colloquially,
the term "artificial intelligence" is applied
Examples: Voice Recognition, Siri,
Google Assistant, Sales Robots, not to forget Sophia
