NOTE

Continuous Data Production and Human-AI Collaboration

The speaker emphasizes the importance of constantly producing new frontier data to advance AI models, highlighting the need for a hybrid human-synthetic process. They suggest that like manufacturing chips, we should focus on increasing the means of data production. The process involves algorithms doing heavy lifting with human experts guiding AI systems through new or challenging situations. The analogy of safety drivers in autonomous vehicles is used to explain the necessity of humans intervening when AI models encounter issues. The speaker suggests creating new roles such as AI trainers or contributors to oversee and ensure the generation of high-quality data.
