Remember the times when one would see a picture of some celebrity next to a common man or close relative and immediately ask "is this Photoshop?"
This was the usual suspect amongst software when the authenticity of something was questioned.
Today, that is almost never said. One could say that the product lost a significant leverage to the rising of AI.
Everyone these days just ask "Is this AI?" And that's an indication of an inflection point—reached.
It's worth noting however that whilst the most public signal is how social interactions have changed around certain topics, there's far more developments that proves we've gotten to a point of major, structural shifts.
AI is becoming "The Infrastructure."
This isn't some add-on solution, it's the system with add-ons.
The shift to machine intelligence is happening in real time.
Now I know that it can be challenging for some to understand what this shift means, so here's an attempt at a simplified explanation of the situation.
Software has gotten to a point where it needs to look after itself. It has to flexibly recognition positives and negatives and make decisions grounded in ensuring the best outcomes.
This means that your smart phones will soon be worthy of the name because their central system will be intelligence that will autonomously monitor operations and execute decisions that ensures the short and long-term stability and security of the device.
Your smart car will analyze a variety of data as it takes you through the roads.
In real time, it will decide the best routes to avoid potential threats, including potential accidents resulting from traffic or external human threats recorded several miles ahead.
Every system will have its own varied application of machine intelligence that will completely change how operations are handled.
Building, sustaining and securing, all will be based on artificial intelligence.
