The arrival of artificial intelligence is not easily compared with earlier technical breakthroughs because, unlike inventions such as the computer, the internal combustion engine, the microscope, or the printing press, it does nothing special in itself other than increase the scope of virtually all previous technical breakthroughs.
For example, if the telescope allowed us to probe the depths of space, we were soon overwhelmed by the myriad of celestial bodies whose evolution and interactions we cannot ultimately follow humanly. With an A.I. we can.
This kind of situation can be found in almost every field where large numbers are involved. Biology, human sciences, physics, chemistry, politics, from the infinitely small to the infinitely large, it becomes possible for us to find and create relationships that are beyond human capacity, either in terms of time of realization, capacity of observation, memorization or simply persistence of attention.
Here are some recent applications of A.I., to make us dream or worry.
