A study by researchers at Johns Hopkins University found that artificial intelligence (AI) models struggle to interpret complex social interactions from moving images, with humans outperforming them in this task. The study tested over 350 AI language, video, and image models, which could have implications for the deployment of AI in real-world settings such as manufacturing, healthcare, and self-driving cars. According to Leyla Isik, a professor of cognitive science at Johns Hopkins University, humans are constantly processing moving images, highlighting the need for AI systems that can keep pace with human capabilities.

As a result, nearly half of organizations are already using AI to fully automate workstreams or processes, with customer service, marketing, and product development being top priorities. Many companies are considering hiring for new AI roles, with over three-quarters of bosses believing AI will enable employees to take on more complex work earlier in their careers.
