Part 6/9:
The impact of AI transcends mere computation; it has the potential to revolutionize industries including medicine, energy, manufacturing, and agriculture. Already, AI has made strides in tackling some of humanity’s most pressing challenges—such as protein folding—through models like Deep Mind’s Alpha Fold. This could revolutionize how we understand diseases and develop new medical treatments.
As AI systems become capable of performing multiple tasks, the need for specialized datasets or separate neural networks diminishes. A single, generalist neural network, for instance, could complete a multitude of tasks, marking a shift towards integrative AI systems that parallel human cognitive capabilities.
