This video explains why generative AI is fundamentally transforming our world in ways unlike past technological advancements. Unlike the steam engine or the internet, it enhances human creativity, automates complex tasks, and generates new content with minimal guidance. I see it as an "exoskeleton for the brain," amplifying our cognitive abilities rather than replacing us. In my own work, I’ve leveraged AI to summarize lectures, create quizzes, and assist with grading. Beyond education, it’s reshaping industries from healthcare to finance. Its interdisciplinary impact is unprecedented, democratizing skills and empowering individuals. This shift towards augmented intelligence will redefine how we learn, work, and innovate.
