In the 1960s, Terry Winograd developed SHRDLU, a program capable of interacting with humans through natural language while manipulating a virtual world. This marked an important early application of artificial intelligence (AI). By 2014, AI had made significant strides. At this new stage of development, we can observe AI’s impact and future from various angles.

Perspective One: The AI Developer – Alex Wood

By 2014, AI had reached a new milestone, especially in the field of deep learning. Advances in image recognition, speech recognition, and natural language processing were particularly notable. As an AI developer, I’m thrilled by the technological breakthroughs during this period. Data processing capabilities are stronger than ever, thanks to enhanced computational power and the maturation of big data technologies. However, with this progress, we are also becoming more aware of the need for AI transparency and explainability. Ensuring that AI decisions are fair and unbiased is a challenge that we must address in the future.

Perspective Two: The Industry Analyst – Samantha Liu

From a financial industry perspective, around 2014, AI began to have a profound impact on investment decision-making, risk management, and customer service. Quantitative trading strategies increasingly relied on machine learning models to predict market trends and execute trades automatically. Meanwhile, AI-powered chatbots began to emerge in customer service, boosting efficiency and cutting costs. However, ethical concerns regarding AI in finance, particularly data privacy and security, along with the potential risks of algorithmic errors, started to become hot topics of discussion.

Perspective Three: The Hedge Fund Manager – Lucius Bainbridge

Artificial intelligence and machine learning technologies have become indispensable drivers in the field of quantitative trading. AI has not only accelerated the development of trading strategies but also helped us uncover previously unnoticed market trends through big data analysis. The technology’s potential in processing high-frequency data, optimizing trade execution, and enhancing risk management is immense. Increased automation reduces human error and improves efficiency. AI has also spurred the creation of new trading strategies, particularly in forecasting market volatility. Our team has achieved significant returns using these technologies, and we plan to establish a dedicated AI research center and increase investment in this area. I am confident that AI development ten years from now will far exceed what we can imagine today.

In this era of transformation and innovation, artificial intelligence is redefining our lives. How will it ultimately impact and change humanity? Only time will tell.
