The robots are coming, and they reckon they'll be better than us humans at doing difficult, complex stuff - like being a doctor.
Microsoft announced overnight "an artificial intelligence system that performs better than human doctors at complex health diagnoses".
That's according to the Guardian, who say the company's AI unit is creating a “path to medical super-intelligence”.
So, Microsoft reckons their robot system “solved” more than eight of ten case studies.
The question you then start asking yourself is: do you trust AI to make important health decisions like that? Even though doctors don't always get it right, the thought of a computer deciding my fate is just weird.
But if it's shown to work reliably, and it's accurate, I suppose why not?
China meanwhile is into the robots, big time.
A company there wants a humanoid robot cleaning our dishes and washing our clothes in a matter of years. They want one robot for every home.
This, I can get onboard with.
But you've got ask, with the robots apparently taking over lots of jobs, what are we going to do once they've completed their mission?
77% of companies are either using AI in business or actively trying to. Year-on-year growth of more than 100%.
77% of all devices being used have some form of AI.
I get why it's happening in everything from health to housework, it's far more efficient. But with all the work being done by others, what's left to occupy our time?
