Impact, Opportunity, and Challenges of Generative AI
Introduction
Artificial Intelligence, both as an area of research and technology, has existed
for more than half a century with varying levels of progress and success. The
origin of machine learning and deep learning, fuelled by vast data pools and
advancements in semiconductors and the internet, brought the most significant
leap in the 2000s, giving us fascinating AI programs such as AlphaGo and Alpha
Fold. However, the advent of transformer architecture in 2018 and the subsequent
boom of Generative AI models, huge language models such as a GPT, has finally
brought AI into the mainstream in recent months.
With the growing popularity of Generative AI tools such as Chat GPT and Midjourney,
and tech companies such as Microsoft and Google in a race to incorporate these
models into their search and enterprise offerings, we have reached a point where
AI, especially Generative AI, is causing a significant influence in our day to day
lives and beyond.
