The 5th Generation Computers are computers which reason, acts and performs tasks like man intelligently. In the history of mankind, we have progressively moved. From the invention of electricity to the introduction of the internet the world has continued to advance.
Why AI May Be the Key to Ruling the World
I started developing the interest in the Artificial Intelligence after listening to the richest man in China (Jack Ma) who is the founder and head of Alibaba Group.

And many more..
How AI Will Affect the World
Now, it is important I help you understand what Artificial intelligence comes with lots of advantages without living out the disadvantages. As the world gets to this point, it is advisable every business does so. Google and Apple are already taking a great advantage of this by the introduction of Apple Smartwatches and Google Home. If other tech and communication companies don’t learn to follow suit, they will fade out. Have seen this happen in the past when the internet was introduced. Companies shouldn’t get complacent on this so they don’t become victims.
