Artificial intelligence (AI) is no longer a futuristic concept — it's here. From chatbots that perform daily tasks to large algorithms capable of translating a person's thoughts into text, AI is increasingly touching nearly every aspect of our lives.
AI is also being used in health and medical research, in space exploration and is even helping predict extreme weather events.

Check back next week to find out what other readers had to say about the technology that's shaping our future (for better or for worse).
