Although we don't know much about how the human brain works, we know a bit more about how it got to this state: natural selection. So some people are trying to artificially replicate natural selection with machines -- although it won't take millions of years, because it's less random. It's called evolutionary computation, or genetic algorithms, and it sets up machines to do certain tasks; when one is successful through trial and error, it's combined with other machines that are successful. But it's an iterative process, which presents a problem: We don't know how long it will take to create intelligence equal to our own.

In a way, AI is both closer and farther off than we imagine. AI is closer to being able to do more powerful things than most people expect -- driving cars, curing diseases, discovering planets, understanding media. Those will each have a great impact on the world, but we're still figuring out what real intelligence is.

MARK ZUCKERBERG

Data is every company's secret weapon, the new oil, the gasoline that powers algorithms. Use whatever metaphor you like, but as a company manager, if data, machine learning and artificial intelligence are not at the top of your agenda, then you should be removed of your position. We still don't know who the data will belong to, we don't know if artificial intelligence will be proprietary or open, but we do know that now is the time to stop being afraid of artificial intelligence and to get working on understanding its impact.

ENRIQUE DANS

There is no official or generally agreed-upon definition of artificial intelligence.... But this lack of consensus hasn't stopped companies great and small from including AI as a revolutionary new feature in their smart TVs, smart plugs, smart headphones and other smart macguffins. (Smart, of course, only in the loosest sense: like most computers, they're fundamentally dumb as rocks.)

DEVIN COLDEWEY

In activities other than purely logical thought, our minds function much faster than any computer yet devised.

The insight at the root of artificial intelligence was that these "bits" (manipulated by computers) could just as well stand as symbols for concepts that the machine would combine by the strict rules of logic or the looser associations of psychology.

Artificial intelligence may well help solve the most complex problems humankind faces, like curing cancer and climate change -- but in the near term, it is also likely to empower surveillance, erode privacy and turbocharge telemarketers.

JEFF GOODELL

---

Just what is artificial intelligence anyway? Definitions differ depending on who you ask, but in the broadest sense it's any kind of intelligence that has been artificially created. Obviously.

DAVID NIELD

---

Even the smartest AI will relentlessly follow its code once set in motion -- and this means that, if we are meaningfully to debate the adaptation of a human world into a machine-mediated one, this must take place at the design stage.

TOM CHATFIELD

The AI of the past used brute-force computing to analyze data and present them in a way that seemed human. The programmer supplied the intelligence in the form of decision trees and algorithms. Imagine that you were trying to build a machine that could play tic-tac-toe. You would give it specific rules on what move to make, and it would follow them. Today's AI uses machine learning in which you give it examples of previous games and let it learn from the examples. The computer is taught what to learn and how to learn and makes its decisions. What's more, the new AIs are modeling the human mind itself using techniques similar to our learning processes.

VIVEK WADHWA

Machines will be singing the song, 'Anything you can do, I can do better; I can do anything better than you'.

NILS NILSSON

The history of our relationship with technology is simple: we purchased machines and devices that we expected to fulfill a certain need. Be it a computer for sending emails, an e-reader for reading books on the go, or a smartwatch for helping us stay on top of notifications, we interact with technology with predictable reciprocity. This relationship, however, is starting to shift. As devices become artificially intelligent, it seems we've reached a critical new phase where we are striving to please our gadgets.

MOOV MENG LI

The implications of AI are still being worked out as technology advances at a dizzying speed. Christians, like everyone else, are asking questions about what this means. But one thing people of faith want to affirm most strongly is that technology has to serve the good of humanity -- all of it, not just the privileged few. Intelligence -- whether artificial or not -- which is divorced from a vision of the flourishing of all humankind is contrary to God's vision for humanity. We have the opportunity to create machines that can learn to do things without us, but we also have the opportunity to shape that learning in a way that blesses the world rather than harms it.

MARK WOODS

---

Software is eating the world, but AI is going to eat software.

JENSEN HUANG

---

Artificial intelligence is complex, but creating it is relatively simple. Plop it in a virtual environment, give it a goal, and let it fail and fail and fail until it figures out how to complete the task at hand.

DAN SEITZ

---

If humankind wants to survive the rise of artificial intelligence, we need to embrace the machines and become a melded cyborg organism.

DYANI SABIN

---

Artificial intelligence collectively is a bunch of technologies that we run into. So, you'll hear "AI." You'll hear "machine learning." You'll hear "deep learning," sometimes "deep belief." "Neuromorphic computing" is something that you might run into, or "neural networks;" "natural language processing;" "inference algorithms;" "recommendation engines." All of these fall into that category.

ANTHONY SCRIFFIGNANO

---

As a global futurist and futurephile, one of the things that excites me about artificial intelligence is the death of procrastination -- anything 'left brained' that we avoided and delayed doing, like taxes, filing, travel expense coding, receipt management, and updating our calendars will be procrastinated on no longer. That in and of itself should sell you on the virtue of AI -- unless you of course derive a lot of pleasure from these activities, in which case I urge you to upgrade and diversify your thinking.

ANDERS SORMAN-NILSSON

It's clear that A.I. is getting increasingly sophisticated at doing what humans do--but more efficiently and cheaply. What's less clear is whether those gains trump the huge implications it would have for the future of work.

KEVIN J. RYAN

---

Artificial intelligence is on its way to ubiquity, and we're not ready for it. Already it has entered the landscape of the physical world in delightful and dangerous new ways, with Google leading the charge in many different industries. Yet policymakers seem trapped in the regulatory frameworks of the 20th century. In two of the most prominent A.I.-linked industries, autonomous vehicles and drones, current legal regimes are already insufficient. Yet both pose serious ethical quandaries, as well as social and economic challenges, that can only be met by Washington.
