Mike & Amit discuss how AI has moved on from closed applications to solving complex context-less problems...
Apple Google SpotifyIn the first episode of Mike and Amit’s mini-series on artificial intelligence, our hosts discussed the birth of AlphaGo and the technological underpinnings of generative AI.
But what makes ChatGPT different? Is there anything that fundamentally sets this latest generation of AIs apart from their predecessors?
At heart, says Amit Joshi, generative AI is still based on probability. Based on a given input a machine will try to figure out what should come next, and programs based on neural networks and backpropagation were brilliant at solving problems where context was not important.
But now AI has moved on. It can understand complex ideas without the framework of a board game or a closed system. That, says Mike Wade, is a game-changer.
