There has been talk lately about AI. There seems to be calls for its abilities to be limited by government and also Ex Google employee Mo Gawdat discussed in a long interview how he fears that AI will rapidly become advanced within the next few years and appear to know as much as we do, or more and be more intelligent even on everyday things than we will.
 
I give my own views on this. Is current AI really all it seems? Are we simply being conned?
