Key Takeaways

Artificial intelligence (AI) is the ability of a computer to think and learn.
AI technology is quickly advancing from it’s initial conception in the 1950’s.
The Turing Test is a test to determine a machines ability to think and therefore imitate human behaviour.
Machines that incorporate AI appear to make decisions similar to humans.
AI lacks the emotional intelligence “the human factor”.
AI can be categorized based on ability and functionality.
Machine learning and deep learning use algorithms, and neural networks to imitate the way humans learn.
Autonomous technologies are one of the most widely used applications of AI. They include: nanobots, driverless cars, and UAV.
Robots are a type of autonomous technology that automate process with little, or no human interaction.
Expert systems have been used for many years to streamline knowledge, and make decisions.
Extended reality (XR) is an umbrella term that covers all forms and combinations of real and virtual environments including AR and VR.
Emerging trends in technology include devices that are: wearable, connected, collaborative and super.
Ethics need to be considered when using intelligent technologies.
