About
This resource website is dedicated to understanding, navigating, and enjoying the rapidly evolving world of AI
Welcome to our website, a community resource for the knowledge and enjoyment of the latest phase of the computer revolution, Artificial Intelligence or AI. It's been a long and winding road since Alan Turing asked his famous "Can Machines Think" question, since a computer beat the game of checkers, since transistors replaced vacuum tubes, and integrated circuits replaced transistors. We'll show you how we got here, explain what we have, and offer some predictions about where we're headed.
We live in a fantastic time as AI is revolutionizing our daily lives, often in unsuspected ways
This is an age of exploration as we discover new applications daily. As Marcel Proust said, "the real voyage of discovery consists not in seeking new landscapes, but in having new eyes". We'll keep our eyes open and not be blinded by any particular technology or allegiance, with one eye always on the machine.
There is nothing artificial about AI
Our favorite quote about AI is from Professor Fei-Fei Li. We would do well to remember her quote as we learn and explore the Wide World of AI.
I often tell my students not to be misled by the name 'artificial intelligence' - there is nothing artificial about it. AI is made by humans, intended to behave by humans, and, ultimately, to impact humans' lives and human society.
Our site is crafted and maintained by IT professionals with many years of AI experience. Let us know how we are doing and how we can improve.
We are International
We are a San Francisco Bay Area tech company with Latin American offices in San Salvador, El Salvador. El Salvador is situated in the heart of Central America, a country brimming with culture, history, and natural beauty. Among its most captivating treasures is its folk art, a vibrant expression of its people's creativity, resilience, and profound connection to the environment. Their folk art influences our design in the form of colorful icons, emojis, humor, and some AI-generated visuals.
The Founder
Roy McNeill brings a soldier's discipline, an engineer's precision, and a philosopher's curiosity to AI World. A decorated U.S. Army Combat Engineer Officer who worked on top-secret computer projects, he later designed systems for Microsoft, IBM, General Electric, Siemens, Genentech, Bayer, and more. With degrees from the University of Kentucky, Pepperdine (MBA), and Stony Brook (ABD in Logic and Philosophy), Roy has spent years immersed in AI's evolution - from symbolic roots to generative breakthroughs.
Today, he operates from offices in the San Francisco Bay Area and San Salvador, El Salvador, guiding small businesses to harness AI for real-world advantage. AI World is his tribute to the innovation ecosystem that made it all possible - and his mission to keep it thriving.
