Cale Weissman, Reporter at Fast Company and MIT professor Luis Perez-Breva join This Changes Things to discuss which sectors are using artificial intelligence the best and why the technology won't replace humans.
According to Weissman, retail is one of the fastest growing sectors using A.I. to improve business. The technology can help with personalized customer service, which can ultimately lead to growing profits.
Plus, the million dollar question: will robots take over our jobs? Perez-Breva says no! That is one of the biggest misconceptions of A.I. He says this technology is supposed to allow your employees to take on higher level tasks while machine learning does the tasks bogging everyone down.
Google on Wednesday disclosed plans to infuse its dominant search engine with more advanced artificial-intelligence technology, a drive that's in response to one of the biggest threats to its long-established position as the internet's main gateway.
Amazon said Tuesday it launched a new service that will allow customers to purchase physical products while playing video games or interacting in virtual reality.
