I don’t think we’re having the right conversations about VR. The “killer features” have yet to be fully discovered.

Is crypto the future of money? Perhaps we can learn something from the money of the past.

The commotion at OpenAI thrust the topic of AI safety into the spotlight. Engaging in philosophical debate over guardrails, bias, and human extinction is one thing. It’s quite another to nearly dismantle a 700+ person organization valued at almost $100 billion.

Today, more than 50 million American children are sitting in K-12 classrooms. Most of them aren’t learning about the technologies that will have the most significant impact on their lives.

Firms are investing billions of dollars in data assets. Is there value in tabular data, or are companies caught in a speculative bubble?

GenAI has experts moving up their predictions for when we could achieve AGI. If we fail, it might be a matter of “time.”

Think of the smartest person you know. What makes them more intelligent than the other people in your life? Do they have a photographic memory? Are they unbelievably creative? Can they perform complex calculations in their head? What makes that person so unique?

The divide between human and machine intelligence is narrowing faster than we can invent stories to assert our supremacy.

Are AI hallucinations a feature or a bug?

Mechanical minds are making their debut on the world stage. Artificial intelligence, previously kept under wraps like Frankenstein’s monster, has entered popular culture. This is why I believe fighting the AI of today is a losing proposition.

My feeds are inundated with AI posts. People seem caught off-guard by the latest large language models (e.g., ChatGPT) and image generators (e.g., Midjourney). How did we progress in a few years from chatbots that could barely understand simple commands to know-it-all assistants capable of explaining string theory, drafting cover letters, and telling better dad jokes than me?

OpenAI released ChatGPT to the public on November 30, 2022. The powerful chatbot is based on the company’s 175 billion parameter large language model, GPT-3. While the underlying AI model has been around for since 2020, the combination of a friendly interface and open access has propelled ChatGPT to the forefront of the AI conversation.

Back in October, the White House unveiled an AI Bill of Rights. The document is a first step in establishing guidelines for the use of AI in the United States. It covers important topics like safety, discrimination, and privacy. My question is whether we also need a second Bill of Rights to govern how humans treat AI.

The introduction of DALL-E, Midjourney, and Stable Diffusion this year caught artists seemingly off-guard. For years, we were told that creativity would be the final frontier for human workers. Now, we are faced with the prospect that creativity might not be what we think it is.
