The Rise of Intelligent Machines (häftad, eng)

A fascinating shift marks the journey of technological evolution. Historically, humans were trained to build and operate machines. This education emphasised mechanical skills, logical thinking, and problem-solving abilities, laying the groundwork for the following industrial revolutions.

Early machines, from the steam engine to the assembly line, were designed and maintained by skilled human workers, reflecting a one-way relationship where humans were the creators and controllers of machines.

Today, we stand on the brink of a new paradigm. Advanced artificial intelligence (AI) systems and generative AI tools are not just aiding human tasks but are also capable of educating and guiding humans.

These intelligent machines can analyse vast amounts of data, provide personalised learning experiences, and generate creative content. The transformation from humans building machines to machines educating humans signifies a profound shift in our technological landscape, impacting industries.

As editors, we are united by a profound conviction that bridging the gap between industry and higher education is imperative in the face of rapid advancements in generative AI and innovations across various industries.

This connection is crucial to equipping graduates and young professionals with the skills to innovate and excel in the future workforce. Through this multidisciplinary exploration, The Rise of Intelligent Machines aims to provide readers with an understanding of AI''s transformative potential and the strategies needed to harness its benefits for industry and education.

Every chapter reflects our shared passion for AI’s potential and close industry-higher education collaboration, and we hope that our work inspires you to embrace the opportunities and challenges of the future with curiosity and confidence.
