When life originates from filth (like the case of mosquitoes and other insects).4. When…

AI, in all its variants, is essentially a human endeavour: It can have no design, programming, deployment, or maintenance without human input. However, within this layer of dependency, AI has already started to outpace humans in particular areas, including…
