Bear in mind that what is talked about as AI is not true Artificial Intelligence but Machine Learning algorithms written by some very smart people and because of how well it works in solving problems it gives the impression to our simple minds that it is intelligence. It does so by running so many options in parallel to work out what is the best one and so can easily appear to be super intelligent to a much slower human who analyses and processed the data in a much different way. For example a chess computer runs many options from the current state of the board to calculate what move it makes next gives it the highest probability of a win. There are so many options so it can only analyse so many steps in the time allotted but it still beats most people. As processors get faster it will be able to do more steps and it has already started beating grand masters. It is called AI because that sounds better and sexier for marketing.

So we hear AI is going to change the world a
