AI is already having a large impact on our world. Explore research and data to understand the trajectory of this important technology. | 2022-11-28 11:07:02 | 2023-06-21 13:08:47 | https://ourworldindata.org/wp-content/uploads/2022/11/artificial-intelligence-featured-image.png | {

Artificial intelligence (AI) systems already greatly impact our lives — they increasingly shape what we see, believe, and do. Based on the steady advances in AI technology and the large recent [increases](/ai-investments) in investment, we should expect AI technology to become even more powerful and impactful in the following years and decades. It is [easy to underestimate](/technology-long-run) how much the world can change within a lifetime, so it is worth taking seriously what those who work on AI expect for the future. Many AI experts [believe](/ai-timelines) there is a real chance that human-level artificial intelligence will be developed within the following decades, and some think it will exist much sooner. How such powerful AI systems are built and used will be very important for the future of our world and our own lives. All technologies have positive and negative consequences, but with AI, the range of these consequences is extraordinarily large: the technology has immense potential for good. Still, it comes with significant downsides and high risks. A technology that has such an enormous impact needs to be of central interest to people across our _entire_ society. But currently, the question of how this technology will get developed and used is left to a small group of entrepreneurs and engineers. With our publications on artificial intelligence, we want to help change this status quo and support a broader societal engagement. On this page, you will find articles and an overview of AI-related metrics that let you monitor what is happening and where we might be heading. We hope that this work will be helpful for the growing and necessary public conversation on AI.

Many AI experts <a href=\"/ai-timelines\">believe</a> there is a real chance that human-level artificial intelligence will be developed within the following decades, and some think it will exist much sooner.\u00a0</p>\n\n\n\n<p>How such powerful AI systems are built and used will be very important for the future of our world and our own lives. All technologies have positive and negative consequences, but with AI, the range of these consequences is extraordinarily large: the technology has immense potential for good. Still, it comes with significant downsides and high risks.\u00a0</p>\n\n\n\n<p>A technology that has such an enormous impact needs to be of central interest to people across our <em>entire</em> society. But currently, the question of how this technology will get developed and used is left to a small group of entrepreneurs and engineers.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>With our publications on artificial intelligence, we want to help change this status quo and support a broader societal engagement.</p>\n\n\n\n<p>On this page, you will find articles and an overview of AI-related metrics that let you monitor what is happening and where we might be heading. We hope that this work will be helpful for the growing and necessary public conversation on AI.</p>\n</div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column\">\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-container-65e6e27e560c4 wp-block-group related-topics\">\n<p>Related topics</p>\n\n\n\n<ul><li><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https://ourworldindata.org/technological-change\" target=\"_blank\">Technological Change</a></li><li><a href=\"https://ourworldindata.org/technology-adoption\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Technology Adoption</a></li><li><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https://ourworldindata.org/economic-growth\" target=\"_blank\">Economic Growth</a></li></ul>\n</div>\n</div>\n</div>\n\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-container-65e6e27e6d19d wp-block-group wp-block-research-and-writing\">\n<h2 id=\"research-and-writing\">Research & Writing</h2>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-container-65e6e27e6ce3d wp-block-group research-and-writing__top\"> <div class=\"wp-block-owid-card with-image\" data-no-lightbox>\n <a href=\"/ai-impact\">\n <figure><img width=\"768\" height=\"440\" src=\"https://owid.cloud/app/uploads/2022/12/featured-image-Timeline-of-Transformative-Events-1-768x440.png\" class=\"attachment-medium_large size-medium_large\" alt=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https://owid.cloud/app/uploads/2022/12/featured-image-Timeline-of-Transformative-Events-1-768x440.png 768w, https://owid.cloud/app/uploads/2022/12/featured-image-Timeline-of-Transformative-Events-1-400x229.png 400w, https://owid.cloud/app/uploads/2022/12/featured-image-Timeline-of-Transformative-Events-1-800x459.png 800w, https://owid.cloud/app/uploads/2022/12/featured-image-Timeline-of-Transformative-Events-1-150x86.png 150w, https://owid.cloud/app/uploads/2022/12/featured-image-Timeline-of-Transformative-Events-1.png 1200w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" /></figure>\n <div class=\"text-wrapper\">\n <div class=\"title\">Artificial intelligence is transforming our world \u2014 it is on all of us to make sure that it goes well</div class=\"title\">\n <div class=\"description\">\n \n\n<p>How AI gets built is currently decided by a small group of technologists.
