Fall 2023 Issue: Beyond Artificial
Artificial intelligence is a testament to the limitless boundaries of the human intellect. Once confined to the imaginative worlds of science fiction, AI is now part of our everyday lives. While these incredible tools have the capacity to augment or extend our abilities, no algorithm or predictive text can replicate our creativity, vision, imagination and innovation. This issue of UC San Diego Magazine highlights our faculty, staff and alumni who are leading the way in all facets of AI, as well as those engaged in the uniquely human pursuit of imaginative problem-solving and expression through the arts, sciences and technology.
