Suggested Edit

I propose adding the following content to the "Applications" section of this article:

"Artificial Intelligence is increasingly used in Human Resources for talent acquisition, employee engagement, and performance management. AI-powered tools help automate resume screening, predict employee attrition, and personalize employee training programs, improving efficiency and reducing human bias in decision-making."

Your proposition seems fine. Alenoach (talk) 21:52, 5 December 2024 (UTC)
Actually, the URL doesn't work, maybe the source has been removed or renamed in the meantime. Alenoach (talk) 21:55, 5 December 2024 (UTC)

Addition of Edge AI section or paragraph

There is no mention of Edge AI despite it breaking through to end users (eg. Intel's "AI PC", powered by Intel Core Ultra Processors) as well as massive projected growth, with the market "expected to reach USD 143.6 Billion by 2032" compared to its "2023 value of USD 19.1 Billion" (Wevolver & tinyML, 2024).

I'd suggest adding a section or paragraph discussing the topic – while there is an Edge Computing Wiki page, the information is scarce and primarily focuses on the challenges of edge computing. A short section on Edge AI would work very well here, with a hyperlink to the Edge Computing page where the topic could be expanded on. Pandan08 (talk) 23:23, 4 December 2024 (UTC)

You could indeed add a paragraph in "Other industry-specific tasks". Or a small subsection in the "Applications" section on Edge AI.
If you do so, start by explaining what Edge AI is, perhaps also briefly mentioning how it's different from having centralized servers. I'm not sure if the topic is very notable, so I would suggest not adding more than a few sentences. Alenoach (talk) 03:43, 5 December 2024 (UTC)

Addition of positive notes in the Applications > Other industry-specific tasks section_Other_industry-specific_tasks_s">

In the 'Ethics > Privacy and Copyright' section, there is no mention of the positive ways in which authors can use AI in their work. The Publishers Association issued a report in collaboration with Frontier Economics where they highlight the potential benefits of AI on the UK's publishing industry. These include market prediction, conducting routine search and summarising insights, which would free up the authors and researchers' time to focus on the value-adding side of the job.

Tools like Writefull or Paperpal, for example, offer benefits to authors whose first languange isn't English. Others such as Jasper, Trinka and ProWriting can help academics with paraphrasing and summarising .

As the Society of Authors explains, it is important to make sure there is a clear safeguarding wording in contracts and a much better protection around IP . However, AI should not be seen solely as an enemy. 08:47, 5 December 2024 (UTC)

Why British English?

Artificial intelligence seems to be more studied, made, including its history, in the United States compared to Britain. Perhaps this article should use American English? KyleSirTalksAlot (talk) 03:34, 12 December 2024 (UTC)

Per Misplaced Pages:Manual of Style#Retaining the existing variety, English varieties of articles should not be changed without good reason. This topic doesn't have strong ties to any individual English-speaking country in particular, so Misplaced Pages:Manual of Style#Strong national ties to a topic wouldn't apply. ObserveOwl (talk) 03:26, 15 December 2024 (UTC)
Well, the fact that the U.S. is the leading country in the development, industry deployment, academic research and media coverage of AI seems like a valid argument to me. The UK only played a major role in the early history of AI, but today the U.S. is leading in virtually every domain related to AI except perhaps large-scale societal and governmental adoption where it's probably China. Maxeto0910 (talk) 04:18, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
Fair enough. It's not as straightforward as the examples listed at MOS:TIES, but it could be changed with consensus. ObserveOwl (talk) 12:47, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

"by the early 2020s hundreds of billions of dollars were being invested in AI"

Many billions of dollars? Sure, but "hundreds of billions of dollars" seems a bit too exagerrated:

Maxeto0910 (talk) 05:58, 1 January 2025 (UTC)

Yes, and the claim is too vague. Instead of talking about the amount invested, perhaps the sentence could talk about the emergence of generative AI in the 2020s and the ability to generate text, images, videos and audio... Alenoach (talk) 09:07, 1 January 2025 (UTC)
The claim is not exactly "vague", but definitely not very descriptive regarding the implications of the AI boom. The text could go into more detail about it in the history section, but as for the lead, it should remain concise and shouldn't be overloaded with details for which we have a main article anyway. The amount of money invested clearly illustrates the economic importance of modern AI research and development and is easy to understand and therefore a concise metric, which is why I'm not too opposed to it, at least in the lead. We could, however, lose some words about the abilities of modern AI by building on the next sentence: Instead of writing "The widespread use of AI in the 21st century ", we could be more specific and write something like "The emergence of advanced generative AI in the midst of the AI boom and its ability to create and modify content ". Maxeto0910 (talk) 21:35, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
I now reworded the sentence, as I think it's more accurate and descriptive this way. Maxeto0910 (talk) 22:07, 3 January 2025 (UTC)
