Why it matters: You cannot talk about technology today without tripping over artificial intelligence (AI). Literally every conversation, in every corner of tech, the topic pops up. We agree that AI is useful, and important, but we also think it worth periodically taking some time to decode what everyone is talking about.
Part of the problem rests in the fact that AI has become a term owned by the marketing department. For the average, non-tech person, AI sounds almost magical, conjuring images of talking robots and computers that tell jokes. The idea resonates at a deep level with everyone's visions of our science fiction future. At the same time, almost everyone who actually works with AI has much more modest notions of what AI can actually accomplish. As the saying goes, Statistics programming is written in R, Machine Learning is written in Python, AI is written in PowerPoint.
