In the 1980s, British schools created a generation of coders with the BBC Micro. Today, students use AI daily, but do they understand it? Should AI literacy be the next frontier in education, just as coding was decades ago? This article explores how the UK can lead in AI education.
From screeching cassette loads and BASIC programs to modern AI chatbots and generative tools, Gen X has lived the entire evolution of personal computing. This article explores how a hands-on, 8-bit mindset shaped today’s AI breakthroughs—and what it all means for technology’s next chapter.
Gen X has adapted to every major digital shift, from dial-up modems to social media revolutions. Now, AI is transforming the workplace, but this isn’t our first technological upheaval. Here’s how our adaptability, scepticism, and experience give us an edge in the AI era.
In 1986, AI on home computers was a fantasy—until Amstrads and Artificial Intelligence made it real. Discover how an 8-bit machine with just 64K of RAM ran poetry generators, translators, and learning algorithms decades before today’s AI revolution.
Pac-Man never ran out of pellets—but what if he did? AI is gobbling up human-made content at record speed, but now it’s feeding on itself. Could AI be heading for a digital kill screen? Explore the AI feedback loop and what it means for the future of creativity.
