If technology can remove some of the labour-intensive tasks where the computer can do better than the human eye; that helps.
Such a machine has the advantage that it will not make mistakes because it is tired or does not feel well, or because the weather is warm.
Documenting and recording paperwork, managing services like passport renewals, and processing patent applications are practices that could all be dramatically improved with robotic automation.
From one perspective, we're in the early stage in artificial intelligence, but exponentials start out slowly, and then they take off.
I'm super excited about health care; I'm super excited about education - major industries where AI can play a big role.
In a sense, artificial intelligence will be the ultimate tool because it will help us build all possible tools.
We're not going to see an exclusively robotic factory, but we will see the optimum use of robots and people.
Perhaps one day we will have machines that can cope with approximate task descriptions, but in the meantime, we have to be very prissy about how we tell computers to do things.
