A.I.

A.I. is a hot topic based on what it could mean to the world. On one side you have the benefits, such as assisting the elderly and so on. On the other side you have the science-fiction type horror stories where the machines take over the world, i.e. the Terminator movies. This keeps A.I. in a constant debate of when have we went to far, but if we continually stop progress based on our fears wouldn't we still be living in caves? The key is to weight the benefits against the downside to see what is greater, that is how you stay ethical in science, there are review boards set-up to ensure research is staying in the ethical realm. A.I. is just the next step in progress.
