10 Deploying Artificial Intelligence ^Top At the extreme end of strong AI is the ultimate robot that might take over the human race (think: Agent Smith from The Matrix), and we are nowhere close to approaching that level of strength in our AI designs. Even the less worrisome AI designs in the movies Ex Machina and her, which are able to experience consciousness like humans, are just fiction. Robots can, however, take over some human roles and render many jobless. That’s where managerial creativity comes into play. The problem has to be viewed as a reason to create alternative opportunities and create adjacencies and expand organizational capabilities for further innovations, while avoiding a few expensive pitfalls. ai terminology Artificial intelligence (AI) has many definitions, but fundamentally they all refer to machines that are capable of thinking like humans or, arguably, with above human intelligence.17 Terms like machine learning (ML), deep learning (DL), and predictive analytics are all subsets of AI, using past data to predict the future. For detailed ex- planations of such AI terms, please see Glossary: Understanding AI Terminology on page 34. 17 Bernard Marr, “The Key Definitions Of Artificial Intelligence (AI) That Explain Its Importance,” Forbes: Enterprise Tech, February 14, 2018, https://www.forbes.com/sites/bernardmarr/2018/02/14/the-key-definitions-of-artifi- cial-intelligence-ai-that-explain-its-importance/.
