An Artificial Invasion

Jason Lomberg, North American Editor, PSD

The world is buzzing over the capabilities, potential, and in some cases, legal implications, of artificial intelligence, and for good reason. In a very real sense, this feels like the hype that preceded the very first personal computers, before they became an inseparable part of the human experience. Like late ‘80s/early
