Artificial Intelligence is a technology that simulates human intelligence processes by machines and computer systems. There's a plethora of different Artificial Intelligence applications including natural language processing, deep learning and speech recognition just to name a few. In 2023 all companies will be under pressure to reduce their carbon footprint and minimize their impact on the environment. In this respect, the race to adopt and profit from AI can be both a blessing and a hindrance. AI algorithms – as well as all the infrastructure needed to support and deliver them, such as cloud networks and edge devices – require increasing amounts of power and resources.

Artificial Intelligence: what is it? How will it impact our lives? How will it be used? Will it actually take over? As the field emerges and becomes more widely discussed, social media's role in shaping public debate answering these questions and more has never been more apparent, with more of us turning to social media for news.

Insight analyst Lizzie Dunmore today published an analysis of Twitter interactions on the topic of AI between the general public, the media, and the 18 most influential AI influencers. Dunmore, who works for Onalytica, looked at a year's worth of tweets from 3,000 influencers and 1,000 news media outlets to figure out who the most influential AI tweeters tweeting on Twitter'twere (that's bad grammar; good poetic license). She also determined what impact their interactions (likes and retweets) had on the top media outlets publishing AI stories. Furthermore, she even revealed whether the media outlets or the individual influencers had more influence on the general public. The Top 50 Media Outlets had a 93x larger reach on average than the Top 50 Influencers yet, despite this, influencers' average engagement per follower on AI posts was 168x higher than that seen for media outlets.
