Artificial Intelligence Era Started, Tech Moguls Declared

California: Tesla Motors and SpaceX CEO Elon Musk on a meeting of tech leaders last week at Rancho Palos Verdes, Calif has asserted that humans need to implant ‘neural laces’ in their brains to compete with artificial intelligence and machine learning. Addressing the conference, Musk also has asserted that AI will make the computers ‘sophisticated and godlike’ while mankind will struggle to keep up.

California, in this context, heard some science-fiction like description from Musk, though not for the first time from the business magnet. Musk described his plans, of an ‘injectable human-computer link’ during discussion at a conference while publishing his online magazine Recode. While the insistence on implanting AI continued by Musk, several other tech moguls’ replied that AI is very likely to affect the daily chores of humankind.

According to a report by Bank Of America,  it is now no secret tech companies now are ‘diving’ into AI analytics research to grow $70 billion by 2020 from that of $8.2 billion in 2013. The report asserted: “AI, which combs through large troves of raw data to predict outcomes and recognize patterns, is already used in web search systems, marketing recommendation functions and security and financial trading programs. The technology will spread to driverless cars and service robots in the future.”

However, tech magnets like Google, Microsoft Inc. and Apple Inc. sees artificial intelligence as a great opportunity. Notably, Google started applying the AI technology first through ‘deep neural networks’ and introduced voice recognition software some four years ago and is ahead of industry rivals.

“It’s really early but I think we’re on the edge of a golden era. It’s going to be so exciting to see what happens,” Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos asserted. “It’s really early but I think we’re on the edge of a golden era. It’s going to be so exciting to see what happens,” he said. “Amazon has been working on artificial intelligence for at least four years and now has 1,000 employees working on Alexa, the company's voice-based smart assistant software system,” he added.
