The Fourth Industrial Revolution & 100 Years of AI (1950-2050): The Truth About AI & Why It’s Only a Tool
In an enlightening addition to the literary world, Dr. Alok Aggarwal offers a compelling journey through the evolving landscape of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and its integral role in shaping the Fourth Industrial Revolution in his new book, “The Fourth Industrial Revolution & 100 Years of AI (1950-2050).” With a distinct focus on Chapter 9, titled “Robotics, Driverless Vehicles, 3D Printing, and AI,” the narrative unfolds to reveal how these technologies are not just scientific advancements but are intertwined with the fabric of our daily lives, influencing everything from the cars we might not drive to the robots that could soon be our coworkers.
The story of Sophia, a humanoid robot created by Hanson Robotics in 2016, serves as a testament to the marvels of this era. Equipped with the ability to walk and express over 50 facial expressions, Sophia blurs the lines between the mechanical and the organic, challenging our perceptions of technology. With appearances on prestigious platforms like CBS 60 Minutes and Forbes, Sophia has not just showcased the pinnacle of robotic innovation but has also sparked conversations about the future of human-robot interaction worldwide.
