What do We Mean by True AI ? Artificial intelligence is being applied to all parts of our lives , but have we reached true AI or is it just machine learning masquerading as such ?

“ But in the future , Artificial General Intelligence ( AGI ) — that possesses a deeper level of understanding — could be the pathway to helping machines to simulate emotion in a similar way to us ”

In this issue , Lex Coors , Chief Data Centre Technology and Engineering Officer at Interxion , argues that true AI is yet to exist - but what is it and how do we know ?

Social and emotional intelligence comes automatically to humans , but this type of intelligence is a lot harder for machines to generate . True artificial intelligence is autonomous and it does not require human maintenance , operating silently in the background . But in the future , Artificial General Intelligence ( AGI ) — which will possess a deeper level of understanding — could be the pathway to helping machines to simulate emotion in a similar way to us .

Current forms of AI cannot have their own emotions but rather ‘ mimic ’ them . Some experts believe that simulated emotion , by definition , makes AI emotionally intelligent , whereas others question the level of understanding behind such simulations .

We ’ re some years away from creating AGI , as experts predict its emergence by 2060 .

In the meantime , AI magazine takes a look at the ways current iterations of AI are being integrated into businesses ' systems and processes , and the innovations sustaining them . Enjoy !
