FUTURE OF HUMAN

Hear the term artificial intelligence (AI) and you might think
of self-driving cars, robots, ChatGPT or other AI chatbots,
and artificially created images. But it's also important to
look behind the outputs of AI and understand how the
technology works and its impacts for this and future
generations.
AI is a concept that has been around, formally, since the
1950s, when it was defined as a machine's ability to perform
a task that would've previously required human intelligence.
This is quite a broad definition and one that has been
modified over decades of research and technological
advancements.
When you consider assigning intelligence to a machine,
such as a computer, it makes sense to start by defining

Overall, mostsome recent examples
notable advancements in AI are the
development
of AI? and release of GPT 3.5 and GPT 4. But there
have been many other revolutionary achievements in
artificial intelligence -- too many, in fact, to include all of
them here.
Here are some of the most notable:

Self-driving cars
Though the safety of self-driving cars is a top concern of
potential users, the technology continues to advance and
improve with breakthroughs in AI. These vehicles use
machine-learning algorithms to combine data from sensors
and cameras to perceive their surroundings and determine
the best course of action.
Tesla's autopilot feature in its electric vehicles is probably
what most people think of when considering self-driving
cars, but Waymo, from Google's parent company, Alphabet,
makes autonomous rides, like a taxi without a taxi driver, in
San Francisco, CA, and Phoenix, AZ.
Cruise is another robotaxi service, and auto companies like
Apple, Audi, GM, and Ford are also presumably working on
self-driving vehicle technology.

Robotics
The achievements of Boston Dynamics stand out in the
area of AI and robotics. Though we're still a long way
away from creating AI at the level of technology seen in
the moive Terminator, watching Boston Dyanmics'
robots use AI to navigate and respond to different
terrains is impressive.
DeepMind
Google sister company DeepMind is an AI pioneer making
strides toward the ultimate goal of artificial general
intelligence (AGI). Though not there yet, the company
initially made headlines in 2016 with AlphaGo, a system
that beat a human professional Go player.
Since then, DeepMind has created a protein-folding
prediction system, which can predict the complex 3D
shapes of proteins, and it's developed programs that can
diagnose eye diseases as effectively as the top doctors
around the world.

Which AI services
General consumers and businesses alike have a wealth of
AI services available to expedite tasks and add
are available to use?
convenience to day-to-day life -- you probably have
something in your home that uses AI in some capacity.
Here are some common examples of artificial intelligence
available to the public, both free and for a fee:
Voice assistants: Amazon Alexa sitting in that
Echo device on your shelf or Apple's Siri in your
iPhone and Google Assistant all use natural

OpenAI
It's not surprising OpenAI has taken the lead so far in the AI
race this year, after making generative AI tools available for
widespread use for free, such as the AI chatbot ChatGPT
and Dall-E 2, which is an image generator.
Alphabet
Google's parent company, Alphabet, has its hands in several
different AI systems through some of its companies,
including DeepMind, Waymo, and the aforementioned
Google.
DeepMind continues to pursue artificial general intelligence,
as evidenced by the scientific solutions it strives to achieve
through AI systems. It's developed machine-learning models
for Document AI, optimized the viewer experience on
Youtube, made AlphaFold available for researchers
worldwide, and more.

Microsoft
Aside from creating Microsoft 365 Copilot for its 365 lot of
applications, Microsoft provides a suite of AI tools for
developers on Azure, such as platforms for developing
machine learning, data analytics, and conversational AI,
customizable APIs that achieve human parity in computer
vision, speech, and language.
Microsoft has also invested heavily into OpenAI's
development, and is using GPT-4 in the new Bing Chat, as
well as a more advanced version of Dall-E 2 for the Bing
Image Creator.
Other companies
These are just a few examples of companies leading the AI
race, but there are many others worldwide that are also
making strides into artificial intelligence, including
Baidu, Alibaba, Cruise, Lenovo, Tesla, and more.
