AI is entering an era of innovation that you used to read about only in science fiction. It can be hard to determine whether a particular AI use is real or simply the dream child of a determined scientist. For example, The Six Million Dollar Man (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Six_Million_Dollar_Man) is a television series that looked fanciful at one time. When it was introduced, no one actually thought that we’d have real-world bionics at some point. However, Hugh Herr (https://www.smithsonianmag.com/innovation/future-robotic-legs-180953040/) and others (https://www.fiercebiotech.com/medtech/using-onboard-ai-to-power-quicker-more-complex-prosthetic-hands) have other ideas — bionic legs and arms really are possible now. Of course, they aren’t available for everyone yet; the technology is only now becoming useful. Muddying the waters is The Six Billion Dollar Man movie, based partly on The Six Million Dollar Man television series (https://www.cinemablend.com/new/Mark-Wahlberg-Six-Billion-Dollar-Man-Just-Made-Big-Change-91947.html), which has suffered delays for various reasons (https://screenrant.com/mark-wahlberg-six-billion-dollar-man-delays-updates/). The fact is that AI and machine learning will both present opportunities to create some amazing technologies and that we’re already at the stage of creating those technologies, but you still need to take what you hear with a huge grain of salt.

One of the more interesting uses of machine learning for entertainment purposes is the movie B (https://www.cinemablend.com/news/2548939/one-sci-fi-movie-will-be-able-to-film-during-the-pandemic-thanks-to-casting-an-ai-robot-as-its-lead), which stars an android named Erica. The inventors of Erica, Hiroshi Ishiguro and Kohei Ogawa, have spent a great deal of time trying to make her lifelike by trying to implement the human qualities of intent and desire (https://www.yoichimatsuyama.com/conversation-with-evolving-robotic-species-interview-with-hiroshi-ishiguro/). The result is something that encroaches on the uncanny valley (https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/why-uncanny-valley-human-look-alikes-put-us-on-edge/) in a new way. The plot of this movie will be on the same order as Ex Machina (https://www.indiewire.com/2020/06/ex-machina-real-robot-erica-science-fiction-movie-1234569484/).

To make the future uses of AI and machine learning match the concepts that science fiction has presented over the years, real-world programmers, data scientists, and other stakeholders need to create tools. Nothing happens by magic, even though it may look like magic when you don’t know what’s happening behind the scenes. In order for the fad uses for AI and machine learning to become real-world uses, developers, data scientists, and others need to continue building real-world tools that may be hard to imagine at this point.
