Artificial intelligence will soon enhance human lives significantly
Andrew Moore, former Vice President of Engineering at Google and Carnegie Mellon's current Dean of Computer Science, predicts that artificial intelligence will shape human lives in six significant ways over the next ten years. In the next three to five years he envisions that AI will offer much better personal assistants. In five years, AI will be able to process massive amounts of information to help us in a crisis such as in the event of a natural disaster, helping communication and improving relief plans. Meanwhile, in ten years AI is expected to be able to detect the outbreak of disease before humans. Moore also suggests that driverless cars will eventually be able to make ethical judgements in order to maintain safety on the roads. Although AI will be able to do more programmed tasks, Moore concludes that we are still a very long way from robots thinking like humans.

We're already starting to see big developments in artificial intelligence.

Whether it's robots learning to speak like humans or a system capable of identifying landmarks in photos, artificial intelligence will continue to become a bigger part of our daily lives.

Andrew Moore, the former vice president of engineering at Google, told Tech Insider that big developments in artificial intelligence are coming, but that change will be gradual. Still, he envisions a lot happening in the next 10 years.

It's a theme we explore in our latest episode of Codebreaker, the podcast by Marketplace and Tech Insider.

Philosopher Nick Bostrom tells Codebreaker why it's hard to design moral artificial intelligence:
