As an AI researcher with 25 years of experience, professor Mike Wooldridge has learned to be obsessively cautious about such claims, while still promoting an intense optimism about the future of the field. There have been genuine scientific breakthroughs that have made AI systems possible in the past decade that the founders of the field would have hailed as miraculous. Driverless cars and automated translation tools are just two examples of AI technologies that have become a practical, everyday reality in the past few years, and which will have a huge impact on our world. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWhile the dream of conscious machines remains, Professor Wooldridge believes, a distant prospect, the floodgates for AI have opened.
