Does artificial intelligence have the ability to take over the world? Some prominent scientists and tech industry leaders, including the late astrophysicist Stephen Hawking, Tesla CEO Elon Musk and Google research director Peter Norvig, have issued dire warnings about AI's potential threat to the human race, calling for ongoing research into its social implications. Others haven't been as quick or believe that to be the case. In particular, Microsoft founder Bill Gates and Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg have taken issue with this outlook, emphasizing the positive benefits of AI and cautioning against alarmist panic. Whoever turns out to be right in this debate, one indisputable fact remain: AI has already become part of our everyday lives in ways we often don't consciously recognize.
