AI is the future

As mentioned earlier, ChatGPT and other AI-powered programs can write novels, screenplays, Ph.D. dissertations, and research papers... all in a way that is indistinguishable from humans. But the list of ways AI has changed the way we live is longer than you might think.

• AI-powered data analytics is revolutionizing pro sports. When you watch an NFL game, they have probabilities and stats all over the place. The Boston Red Sox finally won the World Series in 2004 because they used data analytics to field a winning team. The Chicago Cubs broke a long World Series drought with data analytics as well.

• In 1997, the artificial intelligence program Deep Blue defeated the world’s best chess player.

• In 2016, an AI program defeated a world-class Go player. (Go is much more complicated than chess, so the victory was a major milestone in computer history)

• AI can now beat the best cancer doctors at spotting cancer on X-rays.

• Uber uses AI to dispatch drivers and link them with customers.

• Amazon uses AI to recommend potential purchases to you.

• Facebook uses AI to arrange and customize its news feeds.

• Dating sites like Match.com use AI to help people find potential soulmates.

• Healthcare firms are using AI to scan DNA, blood, and other test results to spot problems with greater accuracy than human experts.

• Recruiting firms are using AI to sift through resumes and job applications and recommend the best candidates. No humans needed.

Right now, many people are saying “The AI revolution is here.” We say, “You’re right! It’s been here for a long time. You just weren’t aware of it.”
