Week 1: MKTG 345-Surfing the Tsunami Chapter 1

AI stands for Artificial Inteligence. It is using machinery to perform tasks that normally would require human intelligence. Things such as visual perception, speech recognition, decision-making, and translation between languages are becoming more and more easier for robots to understand. As technology increases so does AI.

Why do we all need to know about it though? Who cares if robots can do tasks faster than humans. It helps companies and saves time and money. But what happens to all those humans who once were performing those tasks? Suddenly they're unemployed while a robot does their job with ease.

In recent years robots technology has been increasing drastically. Before they were a thing of fiction, but new robots are being brought to life everyday. There are physical robots, and there are software robots. With software automation these robots are able to perform tasks that humans only could do. AI is something that is quickly approaching, and soon will be engulfing our world. Even if you do not like, or support it, being able to understand and acknowledge it is key in the world today.
