Appcessories recently shared The State of Artificial Intelligence in 15 Visuals. The website writes, “Pretty much every cinematic portrayal of artificial intelligence has been less than encouraging. HAL 9000 kills the crew members on the Discovery in 2001: A Space Odyssey, making us all a little bit afraid of handing the reins over to computers. Sonny kills his creator in I, Robot, increasing worldwide scepticism about the integration of humans and their smart robots. And things don’t fare much better in many other products of Hollywood, like Tron, The Matrix, Blade Runner, and Terminator. Even real life AI has given us pause. For example, when an IBM computer defeated Russian chess Grandmaster Garry Kasparov in the 1990s, it was definitely a cause for concern.”

The article continues, “For the most part, though, AI has been more accepted in everyday practice. That’s probably because it hasn’t taken the form of a dark robot overlord, but instead exists as a convenience, and one that we’re becoming increasingly dependent upon. These include smart home components that learn your preferences, any recommendations based on things you already like or have purchased (like on Amazon or Netflix), and of course, digital assistants like Siri, Alexa, and Cortana. Despite some bad PR from popular movies, AI is actually a growing field — and this is something that the average consumer may not realise. What’s the current state of AI, and where is the field going? Check out the infographic below, backed by Venture Scanner data.”
