Artificial intelligence

Through the 2010s and 2020s, artificial intelligence has emerged as another transformative technology. Machine learning techniques have produced systems that can recognize images and speech, translate languages, write text, and perform many tasks previously thought to require human intelligence. The introduction of ChatGPT and similar generative AI in 2022-2023 brought these capabilities into mass use. The implications for work, education, security, and many other domains are being intensely debated.
