Artificial intelligence, or AI, is the simulation of human intelligence processes by machines, especially computer systems. AI involves learning, reasoning, and self-correction. AI is crucial for business intelligence to help manage large amounts of data from multiple sources and provide real-time insights in an affordable manner. By 2030, AI could replace 30% of the world's human labor, especially jobs in food preparation, office administration, and transportation, but may also create new jobs. While robots could take on roles as coworkers, friends, and lovers, this raises issues around human attachment and interaction as well as robot rights.
