These days, A.I. really is everywhere. Machine learning technology has made the largest advances over the last few years. Did you know that while many executives believe artificial intelligence will be as disruptive as the Internet, they are still not implementing A.I. into their business? While the idea of A.I. might seem daunting, it’s no secret that being early adopters of the technology can prove to immensely benefit your business in the long run. Think about it this way: if A.I. is going to be as large a disrupter as the internet, can you imagine an instance where a leading technology company in their industry does not take advantage of the greatest technology since the World Wide Web?
“The technology is not there yet. But it has advanced in recent years through what is called machine learning, in which bots comb through data to learn how to perform tasks. In ChatGPT’s case, it read a lot. And, with some guidance from its creators, it learned how to write coherently — or, at least, statistically predict what good writing should look like,” says the New York Times.
Evolving towards a more A.I.-based world:
One of the earliest arguments against more artificial intelligence within our society is that it will invalidate many professional jobs. In one example, Consensus, an artificial intelligence program, was able to pour through millions of specific research pages to find the most relevant one before sharing its findings. This same task would take an established journalist days, or even weeks.
And although many artificial intelligence machines have experienced bugs or errors, but the technology is evolving at an incredibly fast pace. Some critics of the possibilities this technology offers for “human levels of intelligence within decades,” according to the New York Times.
