What if machines can be taught to think just as we do?

Velocity of Content is looking back at the past twelve months of programs.

“I think, therefore I am,” the famous formulation of René Descartes, is the foundation principle of Western philosophy. Thinking is uniquely human. It defines us as a species – Homo sapiens, the thinking human.

Now comes a plot twist. What if machines can be taught to think just as we do?

The emergence of ChatGPT and other generative AI technology moves the question from pure fantasy to just short of reality – for now, anyway.

Throughout 2023, CCC’s Chris Kenneally discussed how the rise of AI may impact publishing, research, and academia with Thad McIlroy, Paul Sweeting, Nadim SadekMairéad Pratschke, and Tom Chatfield.

In 2023, everyone feels excitement and expectation, along with fear and even dread, over the term “artificial intelligence.”

If you have asked yourself, “Is AI going to take my job?” you probably crossed your fingers.

You are just like everyone else. We all want to know what AI will mean for our livelihoods.

Thanks for joining Velocity of Content from CCC throughout 2023. Best wishes for 2024!
