What are some of the misconceptions surrounding #AI?

A focus on “artificial general intelligence” – the stuff of 1950’s science fiction and concerns of robots taking over the world - “What could you do if you had a machine that is able to act and think and be just like a human,” seems to be going away somewhat.

This #focus is being replaced by realistic concerns and a focus on what it is possible to achieve with specific narrow applications that can solve real problems today - not at some point in the future.
