Jonathan Kirk, Co-Founder & Director of AI Strategy at systemsGo, shares his thoughts. The last thirty years have seen great changes in the world, from the emergence of a globally connected internet, to the pervasive influence of social media. Looking at the advances of the last 10 years, 100 years, and 1000 years, the pace of change is clearly accelerating. But the impact of Artificial Intelligence (AI) has the potential to dwarf the scale of all human progress so far. At the very least, it is likely to bring changes to human society as big or even bigger than mankind's other great transitions, from feudalism to agrarian society, or from a farming culture to industrialized city-dwelling society.
