The AI era,[1][2][3][4][5] also known as the AI revolution,[6][7][8][9] is the ongoing period of global transition of the human economy and society towards post-scarcity economics and post-labor society through automation, enabled by the integration of AI technology in an increasing number of economic sectors and aspects of everyday life.[1][10][11][12][3][13] Many have suggested that this period started around the early 2020s,[14][15][16][17] with the release of generative AI models including large language models such as ChatGPT,[18][19][20] which replicated aspects of human cognition, reasoning, attention, creativity and general intelligence commonly associated with human abilities. This enabled software programs that were capable of replacing or augmenting humans in various domains that traditionally required human reasoning and cognition, such as writing, translation, and computer programming.[21][22]
The AI revolution is widely expected to mark a major turning point in human history, comparable to the invention of the Internet, electricity and the Industrial Revolution,[23][24][25][6] technologies which have impacted virtually every industry and facet of life. It has also been suggested that it may mark a major turning point in the billions of years of history of life and evolution towards the development of artificial life, artificial general intelligence, artificial consciousness and superintelligence,[26][27][7][28] comparable to the Cambrian explosion or the evolution of multicellular life.[29][30]
