Introduction

Artificial Intelligence is something we’ve envisioned for decades- but usually this has been in the fictional world. It’s defined as the “capability of a machine to imitate human behavior”(Merriam-Webster) and it’s a concept that has both intrigued and worried us. We’ve seen countless depictions of a society overrun by various sorts of artificially intelligent machines, but we are just now hearing these ideas in the realistic sense. As the subject becomes more and more tangible, there are many exciting possibilities arising, but also an equal amount of valid concern for how advanced this technology could become.
