In other words,Artificial intelligence explosion era is coming. In the past, the relationship between human and technology such as artificial intelligence, robotics only is discussed in both of science fantasy and science fiction movies frequently. But now, it has entered our real life. In fact, the modern has been enveloped by technology that develops in a magic speed with booming achievement such as nuclear weapons; cloned organisms and genetically modified organisms in recent decades.
