It’s no secret now that AI is revolutionising the world as we speak. ChatGPT has come front and centre of the internet and technology as we know it, leaving a trail of awe, fear, and wonder in its wake.
If you’re not yet familiar - perhaps living under a rock - AI refers to a branch of computer science that mimics human-like intelligence (sans consciousness and emotions - we hope) capable of performing a wide variety of tasks and processing vast quantities of data in an extraordinarily short space of time.
This year we’ve seen a rapid increase in the uptake of AI technology available to the general public, with tangible AI that we use in day to day life.
Our initial contact with AI has been the likes of Apple’s Siri, or Amazon’s Alexa; but the start of 2023, the rise of platforms such as OpenAI & their ChatGPT AI heralds the beginning of a new era of humanity. This has the potential to transform our world in much the same way as the introduction of the internet did back in the 90s, or other significant advancements.
As with the emergence of any technology that will likely totally transform society, there’s a gripping fear that AI will replace human labour, and possibly lead a robot revolution (maybe).
