"At the time of writing these lines, we have witnessed the resurgence of a technology that is not new, but rapidly evolving, which is predicted to automate multiple tasks. More importantly, it is poised to shake the very foundations of human invention, creativity, and productivity. We are witnessing in real time how AI is quickly democratising what before was considered the work of a well-formed elite in multiple areas of specialisation."
"We are witnessing in real time how AI is quickly democratising what before was considered the work of a well-formed elite in multiple areas of specialisation. Now, anyone has the tools at their disposal to produce better-than-before quality output for a variety of use cases, from movies to images, to fully functional prototypes and even products. Like with any disruptive breakthrough, polarisation is not missed in the picture. Nowadays, social networks, corporate statement releases, research papers and media outlets feel like ideological battlegrounds."
"On one side, we have unconditional AI advocates fuelling the existing hype. On the other hand, those who totally or partially reject the emergence of Generative AI. And somewhere in between, as often happens, the voices aiming for the underrated middle ground of embracing the technology while keeping a human-centred approach get lost in the noise of fear, excitement, and greed."
An evolving wave of AI technology is automating multiple tasks and altering the foundations of invention, creativity, and productivity. AI is democratising work that was previously the domain of a well-formed elite across many specialisations. Individuals now have tools to produce higher-quality outputs for movies, images, prototypes, and products. The breakthrough has generated polarisation across social networks, corporate communications, research, and media, creating ideological battlegrounds. One side loudly promotes AI and hype; another side partially or fully rejects generative systems. Voices advocating a human-centred, moderate embrace of the technology struggle to be heard amid fear, excitement, and greed, and face accusations from both extremes.
