The field of artificial intelligence has undergone a remarkable evolution since its inception in the mid-20th century. From early rule-based systems to today’s advanced machine learning algorithms, AI has steadily expanded its capabilities and influence across industries. As we stand on the cusp of potentially revolutionary breakthroughs, the relationship between humans and AI is poised for a dramatic transformation.

The Six Waves of AI Development

Hod Lipson’s model of AI development outlines six waves, tracing the journey from simple rule-based systems to the tantalising prospect of artificial general intelligence (AGI). Currently, we find ourselves in the third wave, dominated by machine learning, with explainable AI on the horizon. However, it’s the potential leap to AGI that both excites and alarms many experts in the field.

Introducing ‘We Are AI’

Amidst this rapid progress, Lex Coors, who along with his role as a Chief Data Centre Technology and Engineering Officer is Chair of the EUDCA Policy Committee and a Visiting Professor at the University of East London, proposes a bold new paradigm called ‘We Are AI’ (WAI). This concept envisions a symbiotic relationship between human and artificial intelligence, potentially bypassing the risks associated with unchecked AGI development. WAI raises profound questions about the nature of intelligence, consciousness, and what it means to be human in an age of advanced AI.

What Does ‘We Are AI’ Mean for the Future?

The idea of ‘We Are AI’ suggests a future where humans and AI work together seamlessly. But what does this mean for our daily lives? Will AI become an extension of our own intelligence, or will it remain a tool we control? These questions are at the heart of the ongoing debate about the future of AI.
