"Artificial intelligence will have a more profound impact on humanity than fire, electricity, and the Internet." – Sundar Pichai, CEO of Alphabet, 2023.

A technological revolution underway

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is widely regarded as the next major technological revolution, comparable to the discovery of fire, electricity, or the advent of the Internet. It goes beyond being a mere technological advancement; AI is reshaping the very foundations of the global economy and business models. Yet, the adoption of this technology remains in its infancy. Currently, only 2% of the world’s population pays for AI-based services, compared to over 60% with access to the Internet. This gap highlights not only AI's vast potential but also the challenges to making it more accessible to everyone.

Rapid evolution

From the first algorithms developed in the 1950s to advanced models like ChatGPT, artificial intelligence has progressed at an extraordinary pace. This rapid development is driven by massive investments from tech companies and innovations that are disrupting key sectors such as healthcare, finance, and industry.

  • In healthcare, AI aids in detecting diseases with greater accuracy.
  • In finance, it optimizes risk management and portfolio strategies.
  • In industry, it enables automation and enhances production processes.

These real-world applications are just the beginning of a revolution that promises to transform societies on a profound level.
