MOURO

Artificial intelligence as a concept has been around for a long time, but recently research and application as well as its presence in the media has risen exponentially. Less noticeable, the impact on our activities has grown just as fast. Every time we deal with commercial, financial, government or we engage in web- based activities there is a good chance that we come in contact with AI or its products. AI has developed its own language to describe the many forms it takes. Today, we will take a non-technical look at AI history, the terminology used to describe its many incarnations, the positive and negative impact, and the concerns by industry and government with developing guardrails and processes to reap the benefits while limiting the downside.
