Artificial Intelligence is the 21st Century Printing Press

Gutenberg's printing press is often considered responsible for the impact of Martin Luther's "Theses" in launching the Protestant Reformation in 1517. But it also transformed every other social activity as its use spread. The 21st century has seen the emergence of a technology with an equally huge potential to change society. Artificial Intelligence - empowered by cloud computing, unlimited data storage, and the digitization of all human endeavors - will be this century's Gutenberg printing press.
