Artificial intelligence algorithms imitate the patterns of neuron functioning and vision to create intelligence. Recent advancements in AI have been unlocked by applying scale computing, where hundreds of computers work in harmony. Intelligence involves making predictions about the world to create generative models that can generate essays, poems, or pictures. The use of computational power equivalent to trillions of words enables computers to learn and act in ways that simulate human intelligence. This advancement has surpassed the Turing test, which was previously considered the pinnacle of artificial intelligence achievement.
Krista Tippett and our friends at On Being welcomed Masters of Scale host Reid Hoffman for an inspiring conversation about all things philosophy, AI, and technology’s impact on the human condition. We loved the episode so we’re sharing it with our listeners too. Reid opens up about his progressive upbringing and the power of friendship throughout his life. Plus, the pair experiment with Reid’s chatbot, Pi, and explore how being an AI optimist or pessimist will evolve the future of humanity.
