PHOTOS show the incredible moment two of London's landmarks were transformed with AI tech - transporting tourists through time. London’s County Hall and the London Eye were transformed with a surprise multimedia show celebrating invention. Using the latest projection mapping and hologauze technology, it took onlookers through the key milestones of human evolution from early man through to the age of invention.
The journey started in the Stone Age and ended with emerging AI technologies, while also exploring ancient civilisations, the rise of the Renaissance, and the Industrial Revolution – before giving a glimpse into the potential future of human innovation.
The display was commissioned by Samsung to celebrate the launch of the new Galaxy S25 series, which offers an AI companion that aims to change the way people interact with their phones. It follows research of 2,000 adults found many believe emerging artificial intelligence tech will have as much of an influence on our lives as computers (20 per cent), smartphones (19 per cent) and televisions (12 per cent).
When it comes to more recent technologies, those polled even ranked AI as a better invention than streaming services, electric cars and social media platforms. AI users already engage with these tools three times a week to get recommendations for what to watch and listen to, and another three times for help with written content.
