Artificial intelligence is a technological development that most experts consider to be a significant element of the future. The term Artificial Intelligence (AI) refers to the capability of a computer program to perform tasks or reasoning processes that relate to human intelligence. In his theoretical physics book, Physics of the Future, Michio Kaku, the theoretical physics professor, imagines and describes a future world where artificial intelligence research will evolve to the extent of human beings merging with robots. The current level of AI development has had to grapple with the limited technology that inhibits much achievement in the field.
Nonetheless, it is expected to improve human lives and enable brain control of machines in every aspect of life even though this might translate to a future in which scientists predict the existence of human-like machines. Through different approaches of development and implementations of artificial intelligence, it is clear that advancing the sophisticated software and hardware will assist humans in many endeavors, but also surpass human brain and gain conscious abilities in the future.

Chapter Summaries
Current Level of AI Development: This chapter examines the current state of AI, acknowledging the gap between popular perceptions (often fueled by science fiction) and the reality of current technological limitations. It discusses Moore's Law as a relevant framework, highlighting the challenges in developing truly autonomous AI systems. While mentioning notable AI systems like ASIMO and others, the chapter emphasizes the significant investments made by tech giants like Google, Facebook, and Amazon in developing complex algorithms, particularly in the realm of big data. The focus is on the strides made in machine learning and deep learning, showcasing the potential for AI to learn from experience and reduce the need for human input. The emergence of AI systems that can create other AI systems (like Google's AutoML) is also a key highlight, illustrating the rapid advancements in the field.
Uses of AI: This section details the wide range of practical applications of AI in diverse sectors. It covers commonly known examples such as Google Translate, Amazon's recommender systems, and Apple's Siri, illustrating how AI already seamlessly integrates into daily life. Furthermore, it explores the use of AI in robotics (e.g., Roomba and Baxter robots), military applications (drones and missiles), smart infrastructure (smart motorways), and even the legal sector (using AI to analyze vast amounts of legal documents). The chapter underscores the pervasive and increasingly significant role of AI in modern society, influencing business, education, and everyday life.
