MODEL RELEASED. Artificial intelligence. Abstract image of a woman's face wearing electronic and mechanical gadgetry superimposed on a circuit board. This could depict artificial intelligence (AI). AI is an area of computer science looking at ways of producing electronic circuits which can learn independently of their original programming. Alternatively, this could represent the use of tools using circuits directly connected to the nerves in the brain. Both this subject and AI are still in the very early stages of what will surely be an increasingly important field.
