We've also got all of the latest news about AI hardware, from the next-gen neural processing units (NPU) found in chips from Nvidia, Apple and others to AI-focused phones such as the Google Pixel 8 and more.
So, what is artificial intelligence? Well, let's ask the experts – this is what ChatGPT says: "Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a field of computer science focused on creating systems capable of performing tasks that usually require human intelligence, such as learning, reasoning, problem-solving, understanding language, and recognizing patterns."
And here's what Google's Gemini thinks: "Artificial intelligence (AI) is technology that enables machines to mimic human cognitive functions like learning and problem-solving. You see AI in action every day with voice assistants like Siri and Alexa, and recommendation systems on shopping websites."
These descriptions are pretty good, but they don't capture the revolution that's currently taking place in this space. AI is transforming the way we create art and music, the tools we use in the workplace and the gadgets that we hold in our hands.
It's moving fast and it's only going to get more interesting – so read on and find out more.
