Artificial intelligence is the next big thing’ – The Hindu
“…Artificial intelligence and decision-support algorithms that can offer data-driven suggestions will unleash a new level of productivity among workers, allowing everyone to focus on what matters and to continually help one another improve.
Turning this into reality may be closer than you think, thanks to machine learning and predictive data engines…”

“…For a long time, our smartest computers were blind. Now, they can see.
This is a revolution made possible by deep learning.
…Imagine you want computers to recognize a cat. First of all, a human has to define all the main features of a cat: a round head, two sharp hears, a muzzle… Once the key features are defined, a well-trained neural network algorithm will, with a sufficient level of accuracy, analyze them and determine if the picture is a cat…”

“…the real challenge is ahead: How can we help our computer to go from three to 13-year-old kid and far beyond?…”
“…As technology moves from the realm of the visible to the invisible; embedded, pervasive computing that adds intelligence to even the most mundane objects and experiences — there will be an inevitable, ongoing conversation about the consequences, unintended or otherwise… The books on this list run the gamut, from unabashed enthusiasm for our coming robot overlords, to heartfelt expressions of anxiety about whether what we’re giving up is worth what we’re getting in return…”
