How computers are learning to "think" - The Stream explores new advances in artificial intelligence.

On the Stream, we discuss major developments in the field of Artificial Intelligence.  The Pentagon has already invested millions in the technology for potential use on the battlefield, raising serious questions from critics. We also discuss developments in facial recognition software as a law enforcement tool but also as a way to read emotion, bringing computers close to "mind-reading."
