0:00

When dogs communicate, it’s a big deal. Have you ever thought about whether future AI models will perform worse on exams in law? The pace of progress in AI is not slowing down, according to experts in the field. Demis Hassabis, co-founder of DeepMind and Google’s AI czar, believes that AI is advancing at a rate three or four times faster than previous revolutions like the internet and mobile technology. Google search VP, Liz Reid, acknowledges that the challenge lies in keeping up with the rapid changes in technology.

The tech world universally agrees that AI is the most significant development since the internet, if not more significant. Even non-tech savvy individuals become believers when they witness the products powered by AI firsthand. Major tech companies like Microsoft, Meta, Amazon, and Apple are heavily investing in AI to stay ahead of the competition. The AI revolution is driving innovation at a rapid pace.

Despite some skepticism regarding the industry’s obsession with AI, the demos speak for themselves. AI innovations will eventually become commonplace, much like smartphones did. The AI revolution will undoubtedly transform our lives, whether for better or worse. And this is just the beginning – we have yet to witness the full potential of technologies like GPT-5.

Reflecting on the past, it’s clear that advancements in technology, such as the internet, have exceeded initial expectations. In 1995, the internet was gaining momentum, with experts recognizing its potential to revolutionize communication on a global scale. Just as the internet has transformed our world, AI is poised to do the same in the not-so-distant future.
