Synopsis:

The power of AI becomes greater every day, helping to manage companies, make financial decisions, play games, assist in driving, shopping, taking pictures, and a thousand other applications.

But when we think of an "Artificial Intelligence", this starkly diverges from the narrow -- if productive -- reality of what AI has become.

Pair this divergence with the danger that AI poses, as it slips into every aspect of our lives, with an astounding lack of control, and we find a very real danger.

The potential of AI is significant -- and we can and should make good use of it. We need to go back to the basics of what "Artificial Intelligence" really means, and take a cross-cutting and multidisciplinary view of this amazing technology.
