In the recent years, applications of Artificial Intelligence to collider physics have revealed themselves as a game changer of our field, and this trend will only become stronger as we transition towards the HL-LHC era. In this colloquium I review recent progress in AI for LHC and future collider physics, focusing on four representative examples: i) the discovery of charm quarks in the proton (AI for regression), ii) a first determination of the LHC forward neutrino fluxes (AI for regression), iii) constraints on the Higgs self-coupling at the LHC and the FCC-ee (AI for classification), and the design of new observables with optimal sensitivity with applications to both SMEFT analyses and proton structure constraints (AI for inference).
