Will Artificial Intelligence Conquer The World? AI is a very popular topic nowadays. We are all amazed of what big IT companies have achieved over last 20 years. Everyone has seen movies and read books about AI. Will it all end up with "Westworld" scenario? Let's find it out. The computer is a calculation machine. It works with the digital signal that we treat as 0 and 1. The computer already does many things better than humans. It can save a huge amount of numbers, text (that is also converted to numbers) and it does it very fast. However, all its operations are just hardcoded mathematical algorithms. The computer doesn't "understand" what it does. So how does the voice and image recognition work? Well, it is not easy to describe in a few words, but the main idea that there is a mathematical model behind that. It is a complex function with many parameters that are adjusted by the set of training data. Even though the computer can recognize your speech and transform it into the text, it doesn't have the understanding of it. Enough technical details :). So will AI conquer the world? Yes, if we ask it to do that. If we write a software with instructions to do that. The computer doesn't have a feeling or wishes. We need to be afraid humans who will use technologies to take advantages of us.
