AI is not a new concept. "While Alan Turing is famous for his test, John McCarthy is often credited with inventing AI. It was at the 1956 Dartmouth summer research project that McCarthy coined the term "artificial intelligence," laying the groundwork for much of the foundational AI theory we rely on today." https://online.maryville.edu/blog/history-of-ai/
Obviously, we have come a long way since 1956, and the two quotes below were taken from an article written in 2018. https://www.brookings.edu/articles/how-artificial-intelligence-is-transforming-the-world/
"As AI applications accelerate across many sectors, it is vital that we reimagine our educational institutions for a world where AI will be ubiquitous and students need a different kind of training than they currently receive. Right now, many students do not receive instruction in the kinds of skills that will be needed in an AI-dominated landscape. For example, there currently are shortages of data scientists, computer scientists, engineers, coders, and platform developers. These are skills that are in short supply; unless our educational system generates more people with these capabilities, it will limit AI development."
"AI is not a futuristic vision, but rather something that is here today and being integrated with and deployed into a variety of sectors. This includes fields such as finance, national security, health care, criminal justice, transportation, and smart cities. There are numerous examples where AI already is making an impact on the world and augmenting human capabilities in significant ways".6
