Artificial intelligence, or AI, is a real and growing part of our lives.
From voice-controlled assistants to online ordering to self driving cars in development, AI is the brains behind computer software. As it improves computers, making them faster and smarter, is this technology a threat?
“I wouldn’t see it as a threat, necessarily,” Recode reporter April Glaser told CNBC’s “On the Money” in an interview. Glaser covers robots, drones and other smart machines for the technology news website.
“But artificial intelligence programmes do know more than you or I do, particularly when it comes to specific areas.”
One example is in medicine, where AI technology is helping doctors recognise cancerous tumours.
