Capabilities that have crossed the line. Oldest flip first — a chronology of the frontier.
Libratus crushed top professionals over 120,000 hands at Rivers Casino in January 2017. The first time a poker AI clearly surpassed humans at imperfect-informat...
Style transfer was the original 'wow' moment of generative AI back in 2015–2017. Now built into most photo apps. --- AI can convert a photo to a chosen painti...
Shazam-class fingerprinting plus modern ML have made song ID a solved problem on any modern phone. --- AI can identify a song from a short audio clip, includi...
AlphaZero learned chess from scratch in four hours and crushed Stockfish, the previous king of computer chess. The end of the human-vs-engine era. --- AI has...
Specialised hardware crossed the half-second mark in 2018. Modern record holders live in single-digit hundredths. --- Robots have been able to solve a Rubik's...
Modern face-recognition systems handle decades of aging within reasonable error bounds. Not perfect at extreme ranges, but routinely good. --- Current AI syst...
A solved problem since the 2017 Stanford Dogs benchmark. Now a default in every camera roll. --- Current AI systems can identify dog breeds from photos with a...
DeepMind's AlphaStar reached Grandmaster level on the European ladder, beating professional players in long, real-time strategy games. --- AI systems have mad...
PlantNet, Seek, iNaturalist — apps that turn any walk into a field guide. --- AI can identify plant species from leaf photographs with a high degree of accura...
Imperfect, controversial, and constantly retrained — but every major platform runs an automated layer that flags or removes most cases without human eyes. ---...
Mammography, lung CT, retinal scans. Specialty by specialty, narrow models keep clearing the human bar. --- Current research suggests that artificial intellig...
GPT-3 made convincing long-form text generation a commodity. The line between 'wrote it themselves' and 'asked an LLM' became impossible to draw at sight. ---...
Waymo opened its fully driverless commercial service to the public in Phoenix in October 2020 — the first time the public could ride without a safety driver. -...
AlphaFold 2 solved a 50-year grand challenge in biology with near-experimental accuracy at CASP14. It now powers most structural biology pipelines. --- Curren...
DALL-E showed the world that an AI could draw 'a 3D rendering of a cat made of cheese' and you'd get exactly that. Stable Diffusion later democratised it. ---...
GitHub Copilot, powered by OpenAI Codex, crossed the line where most pull requests had AI-suggested lines in them. Software engineering changed shape. --- Cur...
Showing the work, not just the answer. By 2021 LLMs were doing this at near-perfect rates on standard datasets like GSM8K. --- AI can solve high-school math w...
Emotional intelligence is a complex aspect of human interaction, and recognizing emotional states can be a challenging task. Researchers have explored various m...
Virtual reality has made significant progress in simulating visual and auditory experiences, but simulating touch and texture remains a challenge. AI can potent...
Efterhånden som den globale befolkning vokser, er det afgørende at finde innovative måder at producere fødevarer på i byområder. AI kan hjælpe med at optimere b...
Prosthetic limbs have improved significantly in recent years, but controlling them can still be a challenge. Advances in brain-computer interfaces and machine l...
