How artificial intelligence will change our lives
ARIC co-founder Alois Krtil will give an overview of the status quo of AI development and show the areas in which AI is already shaping our everyday lives and also venture a forecast of what changes can be expected in the coming years.
In 1956, US computer scientist John McCarthy hosted the first conference on “Artificial Intelligence” (AI) at Dartmouth College in New Hamphire. This memorable event has shaped the concept and understanding of AI to this day. Since the 1950s, the technology has been greatly developed and adapted to other technological achievements. The breakthrough of a “superintelligence” has also been announced several times: but how far has the development of AI really progressed and should we be worried that it will soon determine our professional and private lives?
Many media reports focus on the huge impact that AI will have on our lives in the future. However, AI has already arrived in our everyday lives – often without us consciously realizing it. This development will not happen at the same speed in every industry: Some changes will be years in coming and not every “hype” will ultimately reach the masses.
Even experts can only guess what developments will be made in the much-discussed field of AI technology in the coming years. Development cycles are accelerating enormously – not least due to the parallel development of high-performance hardware and its networking. Digitalization is generating a flood of data that will ensure that AI does not run out of the necessary “fuel”.
It is not without reason that governments are investing billions in the development and use of AI, because our society will probably change more in the next 20 years than in the last 200 years!
