Artificial intelligence (AI) refers to the ability of a computer to perform functions in a manner analogous to human decision making and learning. For instance, the GPS systems use automated learning, perception, reasoning, and understanding to find the best route that a user should take from several possible alternatives. However, the increase in effectiveness of AI?s has resulted in concerns about the potential risks that may result from such advances. Some of the concerns are about the possibility of the AI?s becoming ?superintelligent? and thus threatening the survival of humankind. Notably, just like ordinary softwares, AI softwares are subject to programming errors. Therefore, if these errors occur in sensitive AI applications such as health care, they may result in
