AI: Real or Hollywood Hooey?

What is Artificial intelligence, or AI? It is the ability for machines to be programmed to learn. Instead of trying to code or program something for every single scenario the machine itself would code as it goes. As in, as it was exposed to more scenarios and environments the machine would use this as input and learn what would be the appropriate response or output. Funnily enough Artificial intelligence is portrayed in media such as movies as something that would cause mankind harm. Current technology would not be able to create AI that would harm on movie levels.

Another interesting topic that usually paired with AI is robots. We currently do have robots that we can program to do certain tasks and that we can control remotely but true AI is yet to significant levels. The future of AI is promising as having a machine that not only can have limited functionality with regular programming can be changed to a robot with the ability to learn how to solve the problems itself. Such a concept is popular as it would be a new technology that would bake live easier. Such a cause is the reason we develop technology. Perhaps AI and robots would be able to exist in the future.
