While most people won&#8217;t need to know exactly how it works under the hood, we will all need to understand what it can do. In our <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/plus.sydney.edu.au\/horizon\/\">conversations with global leaders<\/a> across business, government and the arts, one thing stood out\u2014you can&#8217;t fake it anymore\u2014AI fluency, that is.<\/p>\n<p>AI isn&#8217;t just about chatbots. To help understand what it is about, we&#8217;ve developed a framework which explains the broad range of capabilities it offers. We call this the &#8220;capabilities stack.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>We see AI systems as having seven basic kinds of capability, each building on the ones below it in the stack. From least complex to most, these are: recognition, classification, prediction, recommendation, automation, generation and interaction.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Recognition\"><\/span>Recognition<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>At its core, the kind of AI we are seeing in consumer products today identifies patterns. Unlike traditional coding, where developers explicitly program how a system works, AI &#8220;learns&#8221; these patterns from vast datasets, enabling it to perform tasks. This &#8220;learning&#8221; is essentially just advanced mathematics that turns patterns into complex probabilistic models\u2014encoded in so-called artificial neural networks.<\/p>\n<p>Once learned, patterns can be recognized\u2014such as your face, when you open your phone, or when you <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2023\/7\/1\/23781040\/the-tsa-will-use-facial-recognition-in-over-400-airports\">clear customs at the airport<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Pattern recognition is all around us\u2014whether it&#8217;s <a rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/story\/ai-license-plate-readers-cheaper-drive-carefully\/\">license plate recognition<\/a> when you park your car at the mall, or when the police scan your registration.
