Artificial Intelligence
Artificial Intelligence (AI) is a rapidly evolving field of computer science focused on creating systems and algorithms capable of performing tasks that would otherwise require human intelligence. This includes understanding language, recognising patterns, or making complex decisions. In the context of web development, AI can enhance user experiences through personalised content recommendations, conversational chatbots, and intelligent data analytics.
Below you will find a subset of articles from my blog specifically about Artificial Intelligence. This is an area that I have worked with for many years, and have managed to write about quite a few times. There are eleven collected together for you below.

The AI Productivity Mirage: When More Output Does Not Mean More Value. The AI Productivity Mirage: When More Output Does Not Mean More Value
AI can inflate output without improving outcomes. This article explains why weak metrics, faster generation, and shallow review create a productivity mirage.
What is Artificial Superintelligence (ASI)? What is Artificial Superintelligence (ASI)?
Artificial superintelligence means AI that broadly outperforms humans, not just a better chatbot. What ASI means, why it matters, and what remains uncertain.
