According to experts at the University of Oxford, by 2026 Artificial Intelligence (hereinafter referred to as AI) will write an essay that will pass as written by a person. And by 2027, it will replace truck drivers. By 2053, it will work instead of a surgeon. In 45 years, AI will surpass humans in all tasks, and then automate jobs in 120 years.

Curious or suspicious? Now AI is successfully used for: household-, financial-, industrial- and medical purposes. And of course in marketing – in writing content, texts etc..
