Human vs AI

Where to start? I suppose that in itself is a human thought, and having the ability to pose a rhetorical question and understand we aren’t always looking for the answers is something artificial intelligence wouldn’t understand so;

???????????Hi! My name is Billy and I have worked in the tech industry for over 7 years now specifically in the augmented reality side of things (with toe dipping into VR and MR) and I have seen the space change dramatically from when I started to now and this has been due to factors no man or machine could have predicted; like the pandemic. One of the most unlikely things that came from this is we adapted, as people, as businesses we pushed forwards.

The QR code as I am sure everyone remembers from 2 years ago, is without people realising, the first step into an augmented reality world. It’s something you point your phone at, and something happens…pretty neat right? Well, that’s Augmented reality too!

How is this helpful though? Well while those codes are ‘Static’ imagine what you could do with codes that could do more, with actual AR codes you can open up a whole world of possibilities quite literally at your fingertips. Codes for dietary information, booking a table, self-help guides, codes for even turning your face into a carrot, useful? Not really, funny? Yes! But in all seriousness when you think about the improvements that can be made to a business through the use of augmented reality it truly is vast, you can enhance printed material, go paperless, advertise your website and services and the best part about it is that it’s all changeable in the back end meaning you can have the same code for months and even years and its always current.

Technology is becoming so advanced that we can have a ‘blog-off’ with strings of code that scans the internet for information and puts it into an easy-to-read format, which is quite frankly scary! In fact it is becoming so advanced that even tech companies want to put a temporary hold on the development of the AI brain, due to the magnitude of its reach, complexity and how it may shape our usage with technology forever. Tech doesn’t have to be scary though, that’s why we always look for the personal touch, we don’t want the cold hands of a purely algorithmic, ‘soul-less’ program.?This is why at Enlighten we believe in listening to the individual needs of people and seeing how technology and augmented reality can help you grow your business.

Let’s be honest here, no one wants Skynet but the world is changing and we need to adapt to the changes in life, in technology and in growth and that’s what we want. We want it to enhance YOU not replace you. So get in touch for a chat about how we can help each other.

Thank you for taking the time to read this little show case and I’ll be back (for a future AI vs Human battle)
