Artificial intelligence (AI) is all around us. It underpins speech recognition, natural language processing (NLP), and machine vision. AI is behind the sophisticated spam filters that keep your inbox (mostly) free of junk mail. It flags unusual usage patterns on your credit card and assesses your credit score. It suggests tags for people in photos you post to Facebook. It offers intelligent suggestions when you use the search bar. AI is all around us, yet we have only scratched the surface of AI's future potential.

Like a femme fatale in a classic movie, AI seems simultaneously sexy and scary. While artificial intelligence may help us to unlock cures for diseases, discover new wonder materials, and predict the future, some people worry that it threatens human life as we know it, either economically or existentially.
