Artificial intelligence has rapidly filtered into our lives and
is here to stay. For businesses and wider society, the potential
benefits are immense. Diseases can be diagnosed and treated with
greater accuracy, fraud can be spotted more effectively,
productivity can be boosted and human error removed from all sorts
of decision-making processes.
But to get the most out of the technology,
humans must relinquish some control and allow a machine to learn,
correcting and improving its outcomes as it processes ever larger
quantities of data.
This is what makes AI a scary thing. It can out-operate us, but
many people have a limited understanding of how it actually works
or the boundaries of its capabilities.
