We are at a unique period in the history of human technological progress, marked by our use of machines to do almost every task around us. To some, this is a frightening prospect, with machines threatening jobs and putting us at risk. To others, it is a thrilling opportunity to advance business and science and many other fields by leveraging the power of machine intelligence. In the end it does not matter if we love this future or not—it is simply inevitable.
