This has led to speculation about whether we are on the edge of an AI-pocalypse, with superintelligent devices superseding humanity as predicted by Stephen Hawking. Alternatively, it could herald a kind of utopia, with machines doing a far better job at complex tasks than us.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYou might not realize it, but you interact with AIs every day. They route your phone calls, approve your credit card transactions, and help your doctor interpret results. Driverless cars will soon be on the roads, with a decision-making computer in charge.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut how do machines actually think and learn?
