Navigating Generative AI in Turbulent Technological Seas

Abstract

The simple fact that it’s uncool to have an AI-enhanced profile picture now says a lot about the state of generative AI.

No longer a technology hinted at by AI evangelists or confined to particular techno-explorative corners of the internet, generative AI is now a staple of popular culture and front-page news. From the hilarity of the pope in a puffer jacket, to huge concerns about an algorithmically-driven ‘fog of war’ in the Israel-Hamas conflict, generative AI has breached the dinner-table conversations, anecdotes and fully-fledged arguments.
