Artificial intelligence has been talked about for decades, but over the last year, there has been a shift in the conversation.
The rise of ChatGPT and other forms of generative AI has led to a fierce debate. While some have heralded a new utopian world in which artificial intelligence fixes our problems, others have sounded the alarm, warning of a dystopian future ruled by machines. World leaders, public intellectuals, and the heads of billion-dollar tech companies have staked a claim to both sides.
But is this moment really different from what’s come before? Is generative AI truly disruptive? Or is this yet another tech fad?
Over several special episodes of Mike & Amit Talk Tech, our hosts will explore these questions and more. In today’s episode, they cover the history of artificial intelligence, debate what it is and what it could be, and how today’s particular brand of generative AI emerged.
