“It is behind what Netflix recommends you watch next, how Siri understands what you’re asking, and how your phone can tell you how long it will take you to get to the nearest petrol station — which is pretty important when your fuel gauge is hovering about the red line.”
David Tuffley, Senior Lecturer in the School of Information and Communications Technology at Griffith University, said that artificial intelligence (AI) reflects the ability of technology to complete human tasks and operate like the reasoning human mind.
