FAQ
Are there any AI-related risks?
Of course. There will always exist. AI is a significant threat to society, according to some experts. Others argue that AI can be beneficial, but it is also necessary to improve quality of life.
AI's potential misuse is the biggest concern. Artificial intelligence can become too powerful and lead to dangerous results. This includes things like autonomous weapons and robot overlords.
AI could also take over jobs. Many people worry that robots may replace workers. Others think artificial intelligence could let workers concentrate on other aspects.
For instance, some economists predict that automation could increase productivity and reduce unemployment.
Which countries are leaders in the AI market today, and why?
China has more than $2B in annual revenue for Artificial Intelligence in 2018, and is leading the market. China's AI industry is led by Baidu, Alibaba Group Holding Ltd., Tencent Holdings Ltd., Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd., and Xiaomi Technology Inc.
China's government is heavily investing in the development of AI. The Chinese government has created several research centers devoted to improving AI capabilities. These include the National Laboratory of Pattern Recognition and State Key Lab of Virtual Reality Technology and Systems.
China is home to many of the biggest companies around the globe, such as Baidu, Tencent, Tencent, Baidu, and Xiaomi. All these companies are active in developing their own AI strategies.
India is another country that is making significant progress in the development of AI and related technologies. India's government is currently working to develop an AI ecosystem.
Is Alexa an AI?
The answer is yes. But not quite yet.
Amazon has developed Alexa, a cloud-based voice system. It allows users interact with devices by speaking.
The Echo smart speaker was the first to release Alexa's technology. Other companies have since created their own versions with similar technology.
These include Google Home as well as Apple's Siri and Microsoft Cortana.

How To
How to configure Alexa to speak while charging
Alexa, Amazon’s virtual assistant is capable of answering questions, providing information, playing music, controlling smart-home devices and many other functions. It can even listen to you while you're sleeping -- all without your having to pick-up your phone.
With Alexa, you can ask her anything -- just say "Alexa" followed by a question. You'll get clear and understandable responses from Alexa in real time. Plus, Alexa will learn over time and become smarter, so you can ask her new questions and get different answers every time.
You can also control other connected devices like lights, thermostats, locks, cameras, and more.
