from Part V - IP Social Justice in the Information Age
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 04 January 2024
We are just at the beginning of the AI revolution and already it is transforming human society.2 In history, only four other technologies have transformed human life as profoundly as AI will: steam power that powered the industrial revolution; electricity that transformed everything; the development of antibiotics and medical understanding and treatment generally; and computers and pre-AI software creating the information age.
