The Future of Artificial Intelligence: Navigating Business Innovation in 2025 The artificial intelligence technology landscape transformed in late 2022 with ChatGPT’s launch – the first AI application that truly democratized the technology for everyone. I like to say it passed the “mom test” – meaning my mother could use AI without needing a PhD. Shanghai,China-May 19th 2023: close up ChatGPT official app icon on screen.getty The Evolution of Intelligent Technology The AI landscape has evolved through distinct phases since ChatGPT’s debut: 1. Mainstream Adoption Generative AI rapidly permeated industries, becoming an integral tool for content creation, customer support, and productivity…
Artificial intelligence has gone from quietly shaping what we see online to landing squarely in our laps. What began as algorithms recommending our next TikTok or Netflix binge has evolved into generative AI — allowing us to create everything from poetry to images, and even hyper-realistic videos. The financial implication of this new technology could spiral into the trillions, based on the recent eye-watering investment projects we’ve seen under the Trump regime. But, there’s also a hidden cost to AI – one measured in electricity, water, and raw materials.Every AI-powered query, slimy deepfake, and prosaic Google search consumes massive amounts…
Few, if any, technological innovations have generated the amount of debate and deliberation that artificial intelligence, or AI, has in recent years. Some view it as a revolutionary step in streamlining workflow and productivity while others fear it will threaten entire jobs and industries obsolete.Public education is no exception.In response to these possibilities without much of a framework to work off, the Colorado Department of Education and Colorado Education Initiative released a roadmap for AI in K-12 education that details strategies and resources for its integration into schools for teaching and learning in August.More specifically, “generative AI” refers to a type…
AI tutors and virtual classrooms are transforming education by offering personalised, accessible, and immersive learning experiences while complementing human teachers In the modern digital world, the one-size-fits-all teaching approaches have fallen short in addressing the diverse requirements of each student. Moreover, as digital natives with smartphones and high-speed internet access, Generation Z learners seek novel learning approaches that are adaptable, immersive and engaging. They want education industry to change in line with technology improvements rather than being limited to lecture rooms and textbooks. Here, artificial intelligence (AI) has become a pivotal technology that is transforming the educational sector. Students from…
New Copyright Ruling Just Made AI Skills The Biggest Advantagegetty The U.S. Copyright Office has concluded that AI-generated work can be copyrighted when it embodies meaningful human authorship. This is big news. It means that those who develop expertise in working with AI can be rewarded with intellectual property. Over the last couple of years, the critical question of who owns the creative output of generative AI tools has been a confusing one. Can the individual who prompts a tool like ChatGPT claim copyright protection? In the U.S. we now have an answer. Why This Matters This matters because those…
With more generative artificial intelligence (AI) tools and software being developed or improved upon daily, higher education professionals who don’t use this technology appropriately risk being left behind. Here are seven AI tools that you can use in your research, teaching and learning:1. Idea generation with Gemini Gemini is Google’s version of ChatGPT and can be used to generate research ideas and questions. You should experiment with different prompts related to framing your research question, because how you ask the questions can dictate the quality of the tool’s response. For instance, the following two, similar, but different prompts, produce different results. Prompt…
The U.K. to introduce new laws to curb AI-powered CSAM image prodcution.getty There are many threats that have emerged as the evolution of AI continues apace, from hack attacks against billions of Gmail users, to the dangers of bypassing strict Google Gemini prompt controls, to AI-tools being used by hackers and cybercriminals. However, all of these, in my never humble option, fade into the background compared to the use of AI to create deepfakes, especially when these involve sexual material. Especially, especially when that is child sexual abuse material. Amazingly, it is not illegal to possess, create or distribute AI…
When I arrived at Boston College in the fall of 2023, I had all the typical first-year concerns swirling in my head: Would I find my classrooms without getting lost? How could I juggle a new social life alongside difficult coursework? What I did not expect was the collective anxiety around artificial intelligence. Just a few months before, OpenAI released ChatGPT 4.0, and suddenly a technology that once felt theoretical was right there in our hands. On my first day, nearly every syllabus included a new policy about “Gen AI.” Many of these policies were vague or overly prohibitive, labeling AI…
On Jan. 20, Chinese artificial intelligence start-up DeepSeek released its first-generation reasoning models. In the release, the company made some astonishing claims. First, DeepSeek said its DeepSeek-R1 model achieves performance comparable with OpenAI-o1, widely considered the best-performing model available across most domains. Considering the Chinese company is working with significantly worse hardware than OpenAI and other American companies, that’s certainly remarkable. Even more impressive is that the company claims to have achieved these results at an incredibly low cost. R1 was built on DeepSeek’s V3 large language model, released in December. The company estimates the compute cost for training V3…
In commemoration of the International Day of Education, the Hanan Youssef Salon has brought together a host of academics, specialists, and thought leaders from across the Arab world to explore the critical issue of quality education in the context of rapidly advancing artificial intelligence.This was the 62nd session of the salon which is sponsored by the Arab Organisation for Dialogue and International Co-operation (AODIC).The session was held virtually under the theme: “In Celebration of the International Day of Education: Quality of Education…for Quality of Life.”Youssef, a professor of international media and president the AODIC, underscored the significance of the salon’s…
