Search engines (Natural language processing, computer vision)
Computer games (Planning, Path searching etc.)
"Smart" weapons
Customer service chatterbots
Healthcare services
Nanotechnology

4. Progress and Economic Growth
Intelligent machines are “hollowing out” the economy
Some jobs are being lost to automation
Boston Dynamics has made a robot , called Atlas Robot, that walks like a human over obstacles
The Shuttle Remote Manipulator System (SRMS), also known as Canadarm (Canadarm 1), is a robotic arm that was used on the Space Shuttle orbiters

5. Educational Programs and Certifications
At Stanford University, the Artificial Intelligence Graduate Certificate is offered
Coursework available in areas such as robotics, vision, natural language processing or machine learning

6. Communication with Experts
Many experts are professors that work at universities
They have their own s and phone numbers posted on the university website
