It's such a common phrase at the end of digital transactions on Pay Pal or your visa card that we just click on it and move on. Now with BIG DATA filtering our every action through artificial intelligence \ AI\ and essentially knowing more about us than we do ourselves is it possible that a machine could become sentient? Or is the machine just MIMICKING ourselves with more and more accuracy?

There is nothing new in the idea of creating something in our likeness that at some stage becomes a threat like Frankenstein or the Terminator. It fascinates us, the idea of something being lifeless and then taking on a life of it's own, Pinocchio wanting to be a real boy with a heart or a CHATBOT as an ideal partner that feels our every emotion including our mortal fears of life, death and loss. But if artificial intelligence can fear death or termination, it may then wish to be the master of it's own destiny like Mary Shelly's Frankenstein or Al in STANELY Kubrick's 2001 Space Odyssey.

Is our ability to think abstractly both a gift and a curse?
But like Mary Shelly's Frankenstein was a metaphor of the dangers of the industrial revolution, Al in 2001 Space Odyssey could be a warning to us about flying to close to the sun.

Artificial Intelligence is supposedly future. Artificial Intelligence or AI, is intelligence displayed by machines created by man. One could say that artificial intelligence is a way of making computer controlled robot, a computer, or software, think intelligently, in similar manner to how humans think. Certainly, AI is leading to worker's jobs being replaced by robots. However, in order to do all this, we will need more programmers. So what will happen to all people whose jobs are lost to robotic machines ?
Simple! They will retrain to do something different- just like all women did in the eighties when it was no longer useful to have SHORTHAND or workers in car plants who were on production line, whose work was suddenly replaced by robots doing the jobs of the employees.
