Understanding of natural language is what sometimes is called 'AI complete,' meaning if you can really do that, you can probably solve artificial intelligence.

Sooner or later, the U.S. will face mounting job losses due to advances in automation, artificial intelligence, and robotics.

Deep learning is a subfield of machine learning, which is a vibrant research area in artificial intelligence, or AI.

The popular dystopian vision of AI is wrong for one simple reason: it equates intelligence with autonomy. That is, it assumes a smart computer will create its own goals and have its own will and will use its faster processing abilities and deep databases to beat humans at their own game.

Yahoo is free, it's fast and it's Web-centric. AOL is slow, it costs money and requires proprietary software.

I wouldn't want everybody to be an art or literature major, but the world would be poorer - figuratively, anyway - if we were all coding software or running companies. We also want musicians to awaken our souls, writers to lead us into fictional lands, and philosophers to help us exercise our minds and engage the world.

I can really waste a lot of time on the Internet.
