Artifi cial intelligence, deep learning, robotics all set to change our lives...but what is it? Even the supermarket is becoming smart Tech jargon and buzz words increasingly surround us everywhere we turn. So what is Artifi cial Intelligence, machine and deep learning and how will it effect our lives? Our society has been relying on artifi cial intelligence (AI) for years already.

For example, if you turn on StreetView in Google Maps to take a look at what your holiday campsite in France looks like, there is a great chance that the faces of the campers are made unrecognisable in StreetView by AI. No human being was even involved in that process, it was handled by computers. Security has never been in such close focus as today, and AI is helping to fi ght crime and keep us protected.
