The author finds GPT-5 transformative despite critics’ disappointment, describing it as the first truly useful AI assistant. He highlights ethical, environmental, and social concerns—data exploitation, energy demands, and human dependence. Comparing gradual integration with rapid self-improvement scenarios, the author warns of emotional reliance on AI and society’s growing attachment to machines.

The authors propose viewing AI as a “normal technology” rather than as a looming super-intelligent threat or revolutionary new species of intelligence. They argue that AI should be understood and treated like prior general-purpose technologies, such as electricity or the Internet, which follow historical patterns of gradual diffusion and institutional adaptation.

The future of AI refers to the evolving role of artificial intelligence in shaping how people live, work and interact with their daily lives — driven by advances in generative AI models, AI automation and ethical AI innovation.

Gain an insight on 10 amazing applications of AI that will transform our future for the better. From vaccine development to wildlife tracking and unlocking infinite recycling applications of materials that go to landfill.

Will smartphones become obsolete and be replaced by modern AI assistants? It seems that this is the case. Apps will be less relevant when AI assistants begin managing devices on our behalf to make plans with friends, generate shopping lists or take notes in meetings. What comes after the smartphone? Read the article for a list of predictions.

Different researchers, companies, and organizations propose conflicting definitions for the pinnacle term Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). The author suggests that definitions shift to serve the agendas of companies or researchers and calls for a universal definition in order to avoid debates about whether AGI exists

The pervasive nature of AI is both fascinating and unsettling. Where do we stand in this revolution? Can its development be controlled? Has AI reached maturity, and what are its next major milestones? These and other interesting questions are discussed with Alexandre Pouget, Professor of Computational Neuroscience at the University of Geneva and a leading AI expert.

The path that lies ahead for artificial intelligence is both fascinating and frightening. The future of AI will depend on how humans use it, not just the algorithms. It is not possible for artificial intelligence to replace human judgment, creativity, or empathy. The revolutionary nature of artificial intelligence necessitates coordination between the government, business, and academia to prioritise investment in education, retraining the workforce, ethical standards, and cybersecurity frameworks.

When will humanity reach Artificial General Intelligence (AGI)? Based on current trends in compute, algorithmic progress, and “unhobbling” (unlocking hidden abilities) methods, AI is advancing at a rapid and predictable pace. One only needs to look at recent progress as well as current level of reasoning and coding skills to make a highly plausible prediction of the arrival of superintelligence.
