One of my favorite movies is Apollo 13 (and its close twin, The Martian). Just about the worst thing that can happen, does.

I listened to a TED Talk, featuring Nobel Prize winner Geoffry Hinton, who is one of the originators of Artificial Intelligence (AI). He mentioned ways AI can be used beyond what we already know today. That includes how AI helps us understand complex systems, such as our own biology and making medical decisions more accurate. During his talk, he mentioned how agriculture and crops themselves can be improved using AI.
