I'm disappointed by the level of public discussion on the remarkable breakthroughs that are happening. There wasn't a sufficient grasp of exactly how revolutionary the changes that are coming down the line from transformers, from large language models. I see this as a transformation of what should be the correct understanding of AI. And many people who have got AI in the job title, frankly, haven't got it yet. But that's what I think will change in 2023. More people are going to get it and suddenly we're going to realize that a lot of what we thought would require some future, AGI, generally, is already here with broad AI.
Today's episode first appeared on Peter Scott's (excellent!) AI and You podcast.
Peter Scott and David Wood are two of the most recognized AI futurists. Both are respected authors, speakers, and visionaries. Peter is a popular TEDx speaker and long-time NASA engineer. David was recently named one of the "top 100 most influential people in technology".
Today's discussion is a must-listen in which we discuss the future of technology, the future of work, and the future of humanity. In this one, Peter hosted and the three of us had a round table discussion about everything from generative AI to sentience. Let us know what you think after listening. Our DMs are open on Twitter and LinkedIn.
