The algorithm at the heart of the Facebook data breach sounds almost too dystopian to be real. It trawls through the most apparently trivial, throwaway postings -the "likes" users dole out as they browse the site - to gather sensitive personal information about sexual orientation, race, gender, even intelligence and childhood trauma.

Nothing sounds more futuristic than artificial intelligence (AI). Our predictions about the future of AI are largely shaped by science fiction. Go to any conference, skim any WIRED article, peruse any gallery of stock images depicting AI*, and you can't help but imagine AI as a disembodied cyberbabe (as in Spike Jonze's Her), a Tin Man (who...
