Intelligent (smart) machines are devices embedded with machine-to-machine (M2M) and/or cognitive computing technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning, or deep learning, all of which are used to reason, solve problems, make decisions, and ultimately Take action. Intelligent machines include robots, self-driving cars, and other cognitive computing systems designed to complete tasks without human intervention. Smart machines are digital disruptors because they have and will continue to have positive and negative impacts on society. In business, the competitive advantages that these technologies can provide are expected to lead to higher profit margins and more efficient manufacturing processes. However, smart machines are also expected to replace workers and dramatically change the nature of work and other social norms.
