The history of Artificial Intelligence (AI or AI, for its acronym in Spanish and English) is full of failures and frustrations. in the 60s they started talking about AI in universities. Today it has returned to the mainstream thanks to products such as OpenAI’s ChatGPT – a consortium in which Microsoft participates – and Google’s Bard has landed on computers around the world.
There is no doubt that the explosion generated by the launch of ChatGPT last November was successful the fascination of the public and generated endless reactions from its ban by some schools in the United States to announcements of billionaire investments by large companies. It is the first time in our history that tools of this nature, based on complex linguistic models, are within everyone’s reach and allow us to improve (and greatly) the generation of simple and useful things such as a text, a song or a video . .
What artificial intelligence do we have access to? It is a probabilistic computing system that has a lot of information, enormous processing power, and can receive continuous training and updates. It has more information than any human being (more than 175 billion pieces of language) but it will produce with that library of data what we ask of it. I see it as a great help to humanity, not as a competition.
I don’t think the democratization of Artificial Intelligence will change the human essence, but everything else will. AI will have a huge impact on education, health, politics and the economy and most importantly will redefine the role of work making it more innovative, creative, allowing us to leave more routine and repetitive tasks than we thought and helping us in a certain sense to rediscover what makes us more human.
The infinite possibilities offered by AI are a wake-up call for everyone, including the tech industry itself. It redefines the profiles that exist in software development. It is against this backdrop that Globant recently unveiled a tool that exponentially simplifies software development, allowing solutions to be created in record time, using natural language, such as written text or graphics.
Beyond these domestic uses, AI works like a huge process accelerator. I have no doubts: all digital products, from a mobile app to a car, will have some AI component in a very short time. Investment in this technology is estimated to reach $300 billion by 2026.
The use of artificial intelligence it is already promoting and improving efficiency in industries such as logistics, financial services or health. In the latter it can be applied to reduce by 30% the costs that are associated with administrative activities today and therefore reduce the final price of health for users or improve the diagnosis of diseases with greater precision and speed and develop infinite personalized treatment programs for each patient in minutes.
No doubt, Artificial intelligence is bridging the gap between knowledge, intent and vision, thus allowing humans to focus on their creativity and let go of repetitive tasks. The rise of innovative AI-powered solutions, such as ChatGPT and Bard, has made this technology a cutting-edge tool, however businesses and society need to understand that AI is much more than a set of flashy solutions. AND the engine of innovation and competitiveness.
