When people hear the word Artificial Intelligence they perceive that something as a challenge to human intelligence and an evolution of machines to take over the Human race itself. This is the influence of all those Hollywood Sci-fi movies out there where machines play havoc with human civilization, starting from Terminator to Transformers.  Recent news about Facebook putting an end to its chatbot project made headlines and also a creepy feeling among some sections of public about AI. The machines started to speak in their own language and began to evolve. This created a doubt whether the machines are self-evolving and trying to overtake humans as feared by some eminent scientists earlier.

You don’t need to worry if Robots are going to recruit people in the future or manage the resources and get anxious on your jobs. The coin of development always has two sides and along with the technological advancements comes the risks associated with that.
