The Potential and Limitations of AI
AI has made significant strides over the past decade, from being able to recognize images to conducting basic conversations.
However, it still falls short in understanding context and logic.
The Economic Impact of AI
Despite its limitations, AI technologies are projected to contribute $3 to 4 trillion annually according to a recent study by McKenzie.
The focus is on teaching computers not only to predict but also make informed decisions that can benefit society.
