Editorial If it's AI and robots you wanted from this series then this one is for you. Artificial Intelligence exists today, when this and other technologies merge the result will be more like Science Fiction than any PC. The technology will be fantastic, the possibilities endless. Get it wrong, the consequences dire.

WTF?

Machine Learning != AI

A computer can learn all sorts of stuff and still not "know" anything.

The creatures in black and white may be able to predict what should happen, but that doesn't mean they understand anything. They are just doing complex statistical (or spacial) math.
