AI era
Proposed transition to AI-based post-labor society / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The AI era,[1][2][3][4][5] also known as the AI revolution,[6][7][8][9] is the proposed 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]
