For the past year or so AI has become a big interest of mine both at the professional and the philosophical level. After a few days of wallowing in the shock of the Covid19 disruption I have begun to think about the deeper changes this Black Swan event will effect in all aspect of human society and civilisation. Today’s post on my blog is about a possible paradigm shift that can happen in the area of particular interest to me – AI and the related fields of Big Data and IoT. Look forward to your comments and views.
