Artificial Intelligence is a huge breakthrough technology that is
changing our world. It requires some degrees of technical skills
to be developed and understood, so in this book we are going to
first of all define AI and categorize it with a non-technical
language. We will explain how we reached this phase and what
historically happened to artificial intelligence in the last
century. Recent advancements in machine learning, neuroscience,
and artificial intelligence technology will be addressed, and new
business models introduced for and by artificial intelligence
research will be analyzed. Finally, we will describe the
investment landscape, through the quite comprehensive study of
almost 14,000 AI companies and we will discuss important features
and characteristics of both AI investors as well as investments.
This is the “Internet of Thinks” era. AI is revolutionizing the
world we live in. It is augmenting the human experiences, and it
targets to amplify human intelligence in a future not so distant
from today. Although AI can change our lives, it comes also with
some responsibilities. We need to start thinking about how to
properly design an AI engine for specific purposes, as well as
how to control it (and perhaps switch it off if needed). And
above all, we need to start trusting our technology, and its
ability to reach an effective and smart decision.
