This new edition explores the next frontier of artificial intelligence:
the moment when machines begin to learn from and interact with the real world in real time.

It is designed to support business leaders, language experts, researchers, and visionary thinkers as they navigate this new phase of innovation—one shaped by machines that are maturing, gaining their own experience, and remembering what they learn; by humans taking responsibility for how machines act in the world; and by a core insight that remains unchanged: language is still the primary way humans create intelligence.

A revolutionary research journey with multidisciplinary experts, featuring in-depth analyses that span from the role of research in today’s innovation race to the risks posed by monopolies and ethical challenges, alongside concrete examples of what this new form of AI can enable across diverse domains—from healthcare and design to natural disaster prevention and architecture.
