We are witnessing a nascent playfield where innovators are building amazing products that address unthinkable human problems. During this deck, we’ll see the Current State of AI: AI beyond the hype, bold predictions and why build an AI product (use cases). This deck was presented at the Startup Yard's event "Can Romanian Deep Tech Go Global?" http://startupyard.com/can-romanian-deep-tech-go-global-startupyard-bucharest-june6th/
Reach out if you want to talk more (products | emerging tech | AI), be part of the City.AI global community or are located in Bucharest. I'd love to hear from you.

[intro]
If you’re like me, you used to think Artificial Intelligence was a silly sci-fi concept, but lately you’ve been hearing it mentioned by serious people, and you don’t really quite get it.
There are three reasons a lot of people are confused about the term AI:
AI is a broad topic. It ranges from your phone’s calculator to self-driving cars to something in the future that might change the world dramatically. AI refers to all of these things, which is confusing.
We use AI all the time in our daily lives, but we often don’t realize it’s AI: ABS and fuel injection systems are excellent narrow-AI examples
We associate AI with movies
Let's take for example Ex_MACHINA
This is a perfect example of how a man-created AI-humanoid becomes sentient, and plays with human feelings to deceive its creators.
This raises the ethical question: Can we trust AI?
The good news - we're not there. YET.
What about this guy here? How many of you have Terminator flashbacks when you hear "AI"?
News like machines ruling games such as GO, and developing their own language that humans don't understand seem to chart a gloomy future, where Skynet is setting up human extinction.
So let’s clear things up. First, stop thinking of robots. A robot is a container for AI.

But how do we move from Artificial Narrow Intelligence - which relies on programatic conditional algorithms
... to Artificial Super Intelligence - that's smarter than the human brain and can evolve on its own
?
First - we must accept that AI in itself is here to solve unthinkable human problems.

Use case: H2M gets a familiar interface.
...so does Samsung in their latest S8. And tests show it's really secure.
