When AI stops waiting to be askedOne day, a father said, “My son got a new car, and it has every AI, technology, bell and whistle you can imagine.”“Take it out for a drive,” the son said. While this is remarkable, the next significant advancement will be AI that acts proactively, rather than waiting for prompts. That is the argument made by Kiara and Nikhara Nirghin in a thought-provoking piece they wrote for Fast Company regarding proactive AI. Another way to put this perspective in view is that the day is fast approaching when AI stops waiting to be asked. Proactive AI, on the other hand, observes, learns, anticipates and acts within defined boundaries.
