Humans vs Machines — Distinguishing Between Fact and Fiction

By now, we have all heard about some of the amazing human vs. machine achievements made in recent years, such as the Watson Jeopardy challenge and DeepMind’s AlphaGo win. One of the most common questions (and one of the most frustrating ones) is when people ask me: Does AI even exist today? Some people claim that the machines are not intelligent at all compared to humans — they are both right and wrong at the same time.

They are right because we are still far away from having machines with similar general levels of intelligence as humans, and they're wrong because, for small and narrow tasks, the machine is winning the battle over humans for an increasing number of tasks.
