AI, robots, and the future of the human race

"The term 'artificial intelligence' (AI) was introduced in 1956, but it has drastically evolved since then, with today's AI designed to independently adapt to and learn from new data. AI is a branch of robotics, which involves programming machines to automatically complete complicated tasks. The opportunities to simplify and enhance daily life these machines offer could make them instrumental to the further development of humankind. However, concerns about what can be accomplished through robotics, the extent to which humans can control sophisticated AI, and the impact robots and AI will have on labor, warfare, and health must also be considered"--Provided by publisher.
