Artificial intelligence is everywhere, and the tech industry is racing along to develop ever more powerful AIs. Three scholars look ahead to the next chapter in this technological revolution.
Generative AI can seem like magic, which makes it both enticing and frightening. Scholars are helping society come to grips with the potential benefits and harms.
New technologies are often surrounded by hopeful messages that they will alleviate poverty and bring about positive social change. History shows these assumptions are often misplaced.
Ahora que los sistemas de IA pueden generar imágenes realistas y prosa convincente, ¿los trabajadores creativos están en peligro o a punto de aumentar su productividad? No está claro.

Legal bans and moratoriums on other emerging technologies need not be permanent or absolute, but the more powerful a technology is, the more care it requires to operate safely.

How can we prepare children for a tech world while fighting the distractions it inevitably brings?
