These storms, like the coming of Internet, shake the world we knew and change our perceptions of what we think would last forever. As we are steadfastly approaching the AI revolution, there remains a sense of uncertainty, of hope and of fear.
So, there's no better time than now to know some mind-blowing facts about our future - AI.

8. "Artificial" intelligence is becoming quite "natural" these days. Almost 77% of all devices use AI technology.
9. Generative adversarial networks (GANs) can generate highly realistic images of human faces that are indistinguishable from real photographs. This technology has implications for creating lifelike avatars and visual effects in movies.
10. Self repairing robots are here since 2020. They can detect when they are damaged, and in need of a repair.
11. Neural networks are AI based systems which try to replicate the human brain’s network of neurons. They are commonly used in business analysis, trading and error prediction.
12. AI algorithms have been developed to analyze medical data and accurately diagnose diseases. In some cases, AI has demonstrated better diagnostic accuracy than human doctors.
13. Project Debater, which is made by IBM, is an AI system that can debate humans on complex topics, research a topic and create an engaging point of view.
