…<\/span><\/p>\nAI’s New frontier.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n Picture a computer that could finish your sentences, using a better turn of phrase; or use a snatch of melody to compose music that sounds as if you wrote it (though you never would have); or solve a problem by creating hundreds of lines of computer code\u2014leaving you to focus on something even harder. In a sense, that computer is merely the descendant of the power looms and steam engines that hastened the Industrial Revolution. But it also belongs to a new class of machine, because it grasps the symbols in language, music and programming and uses them in ways that seem creative. A bit like a human.

\nThe \u201cfoundation models\u201d that can do these things represent a breakthrough in artificial intelligence, or ai. They, too, promise a revolution, but this one will affect the high-status brainwork that the Industrial Revolution never touched. There are no guarantees about what lies ahead\u2014after all, ai has stumbled in the past.<\/p>\nFor more content, read The World This Week on the website or download The Economist Digital App<\/strong>.<\/h6>\n
