But he enjoys reading science books and spending leisure time with his violin. Student Richard Erkhov, 16, lead programmer of the AI brain, said artificial intelligence was poised to improve exponentially.

"It mimics human thinking, answers like humans, responds like humans. It is not yet very polished .. But it is getting there," he said. Tutors say the ultimate purpose of AInstein is to incorporate it into teaching. Image Credit: Reuters

Their experience with AInstein showed that AI is not anything to fear, project members said. Image Credit: Reuters

AInstein himself answers whether the technology is something to be feared. "Humans are the ones who create and control AI, and it is up to us to ensure that its development and implementation serve the betterment of humanity.. Therefore we should not fear AI, but rather approach it with care and responsible consideration." Image Credit: Reuters
