#132 Scott Downes: Navigating the Language of AI & Large Language Models

On episode #132 of the Eye on AI podcast, Craig Smith sits down with Scott Downes, Chief Technology Officer at Invisible Technologies. We crack open the fascinating world of large language models (LLMs). What are the unique ways LLMs can revolutionize text cleanup, product classification, and more? Scott unpacks the power of technology like Reinforcement Learning for Human Feedback (RLHF) that expands the horizons of data collection. This podcast is a thorough analysis of the world of language and meaning. How does language encode meaning? Can RLHF be the panacea for complex conundrums? Scott breaks down his vision about using RLHF to redefine problem-solving. We dive into the vexing concept of teaching a language model through reinforcement learning without a world model. We discuss the future of the human workforce in AI, hear Scott's insights on the potential shift from labellers to RLHF workers. What implications does this shift hold? Can AI elevate people to work on more complicated tasks? From exploring the economic pressure companies face to the potential for increased productivity from AI, we break down the future of work.

#131 Andrew Ng: Exploring Artificial Intelligence's Potential & Threats

Welcome to episode #131 of the Eye on AI podcast with Andrew Ng. Get ready to challenge your perspectives as we sit down with Andrew Ng. We navigate the widely disputed topic of AI as a potential existential threat, with Andrew assuring us that, with time and global cooperation, safety measures can be built to prevent disaster. He offers insight into the debates surrounding the harm AI might cause, including the notions of AI as a bio-weapon and the notorious 'paper clip argument'. Listen as Andrew debunks these theories, delivering an interesting argument for why he believes the associated risks are minimal.Onwards, we venture into the intriguing realm of AI's capability to understand the world, setting the stage for a conversation on how we can objectively assess their comprehension. We explore the safety measures of AI, drawing parallels with the rigour of the aviation industry, and contemplate on the consensus within the research community regarding the danger posed by AI.
