The emergence of AI will transform the Internet industry and social networking over the next decade, says Yury Milner, Russia’s leading web tycoon, in an interview in Russian business daily Vedomosti.

“I think that in 10 years if you ask a question on a social network and you get an answer you will not know if a computer or a person has answered you,” he said. “When you receive a question, you will not know if it has been asked by a person or an artificial intelligence. And by answering you help the computer create an algorithm.”
