General-purpose AI (GPAI) and artificial general intelligence (AGI) are on the horizon and will permeate our lives more than smartphones and the Internet, IMO.
I’m planning to begin a doctoral program in AI next year. Because I think the AI revolution is inevitable, I also think getting very involved is the best way to help influence its impact for the better.
I’m just starting to learn, having attended sessions in my organization and with MS. And of course from being a news junkie.
Natural language AI is also fascinating to think how it could be used, and misused.
“I also think getting very involved is the best way to help influence its impact for the better.”
You remind me of the nuclear scientists...lol.
I’d argue the AI revolution is already underway - I’m making proposals to customers based on the technology, providing solutions that I’d never have thought possible.
I’ve been quite deep into using software libraries to make custom use of AI & ChatGPT programmatically. Just the natural language and callback functionality alone opens a massive opportunity for new applications...especially when you can integrate databases and alike.
First to go, I hope, will be the ‘dumb phone menu systems’. They’ll actually be able to handle natural speech, without ‘key words’, and intelligently be able to get you in the right direction. That alone is a massive number of opportunities.
