I find artificial intelligence kind of scary. I realize that it can be very practical and useful for some things. But I actually feel that artificial intelligence that is developed too far may actually be dangerous to humanity. I don't like the idea of a machine being smarter and more capable than a human.

@SteamLouis-- But artificial intelligence is a part of everyday life. Everything from computer games, to financial analysis software to voice-recognition security systems are types of artificial intelligence. They are forms of weak AI but are artificial intelligence nonetheless.

When people think of AI, robots are the first things to come to mind. And there are huge advancements in this area as well. You may not be familiar with them but there are numerous robots on the market that are very popular. Some act like personal assistants and respond to voice command for various tasks. Others are in the form of house appliances or small gadgets and all serve some sort of use for every day living.

Artificial intelligence doesn't appear to be advancing as quickly as many of us expected. I remember that in the beginning of the 21st century, there was so much speculation about how artificial intelligence, like robots, would become a regular part of our life in this century. Fifteen years down the line, nothing of the sort has happened. Scientists talk about the same thing, but now they're talking about 2050 and beyond. I personally don't think that robots will be a part of regular life even in 2050. Artificial intelligence is not easy to build and use and it's extremely expensive.
