Examples include driving a vehicle without a\ndriver, diagnosing a patient and suggesting the treatments by a robot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Even what Mr. Pramadasa showed using a\nvideo is not artificial intelligence. Just showing data on a colored dashboard\nis not artificial intelligence at all. At that time, he was looking for answers\nto the problem by discussing with an officer via phone call. It is obvious that\nthe intelligence of Mr. Sajith Premadasa and the officer on the other side is\nnot artificial intelligence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We still cannot believe that a person\nseeking the leadership of the country is committing such a degrading act to\nmislead his voters. We suggest that he should openly apologize to the public\nfor his efforts to mislead the people by this fraudulent act.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Lasantha Wickramasinghe<br>Secretary, Association of Information Technology Professionals<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Press Release!
