Artificial intelligence

This revolution is likely to change our lives significantly in the short term, and perhaps tremendously so in the medium term.

It wasn't that long ago I felt short-sold by the promise of AI. About eight years ago I saw someone demonstrating a machine's ability to recognize certain flowers. Although impressive, it was a clunky experience, and while I could imagine applications, it didn't excite me.

Weighing scales showing Trim The Fat message

Few people would argue with the notion that Windows 11 comes with more than a little baggage.
