Kathy Gibson reports – Artificial intelligence is not just reshaping technology, but is being used to empower people and communities around the world.It’s been 75 years since Alan Turing published his scientific paper envisaging AI. Since then, we have been through two slumps, or AI winters, where the technology failed to meet its potential.
As a result, for much of the last decade, Spain dominated the football world. “It’s not the AI would win games, but gave them enough of an edge for them to dominate.” The manufacturing industry is no stranger to the use of robots, with motor manufacturers especially early adopters of the technology. “So the third lesson we have learnt about AI is this: if it’s digital, AI can do it,” Goldstuck says. “Thinking is not digital – so if it requires thinking, AI cannot do it. But otherwise, it can.”
GenAI is making this possible, with its use of large language models – and there is a vast environment of LLMs producing AI tools that anyone can use, in any language. In addition, AI is being used for malicious and fraudulent purposes, from misinformation to identity and theft, which poses massive challenges to existing systems.
