In the recent years, applications of Artificial Intelligence (AI) to collider physics have resulted in a major revolution of the field. The availability of modern AI techniques has already driven major changes in what can we measure in collider experiments, how can we analyse and interpret these measurements, the theory predictions that we can use to confront with the data, and even what does being a "particle physics researcher" even means. The impact of this "AI revolution" will only become stronger as we transition towards the HL-LHC era and eventual future colliders such as the FCC-ee. In this colloquium, aimed to a broad audience, I review recent progress in AI for particle physics focusing on selected case studies:  evidence for charm quarks in the proton, novel observables with optimal sensitivity to probe new interactions and proton structure, and progress towards the discovery of the self-coupling of the higgs boson.
