Amazon on the Future of Artificial General Intelligence | SXSW 2024

Portuguese and Spanish language translations for SXSW 2024 Keynotes and Featured Sessions presented by Itaú
Amazon believes AI is the most transformational technology of our time, capable of tackling some of humanity’s most challenging problems. That is why the company is investing in generative AI to responsibly develop and deploy large language models (LLMs) across all of its businesses. These advancements are part of Amazon’s long-term pursuit of Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). Axios’ Ryan Heath and Amazon’s AGI VP, Vishal Sharma will discuss what today’s AI may imply for the future, the progress of LLMs towards the quest for AGI, and its’ potential to benefit society at large.

I love tech and AI, positive for the future. But hearing things like “the most expensive part of advertising is the creative side, now that’s free”, is quite soul crushing for a naturally arty, creative person like me, who doesn’t love aggressive, capitalistic ambition. Ambitious, money driven people have been giving creatives a rough deal for eons, and now it’s gotten even worse. And what’s sad, is that many of the more business focussed people, simply have poor artistic judgment, and so everything is going get more ugly and arbitrary and middle of the road. An AI trained on almost everything, is “mid” by definition, at least creatively and artistically speaking.

Don't worry, business oriented people are gonna be replaced by an Ai in the next 2-3 years. In the end, it is not matter of if but when.

[@socialtraffichq5067]

What a bunch of nonsense

[@KenjiEspresso]

You can thrive easier now.

[@neanda]

wow, that's so true, each part of what you said

[@neanda]

bro, invest in microchips. ASML, TSMC, QCOM, and IBM for the quantum. These are the shovels in the gold rush, it's the only way we can keep our heads above water

[@bobbyjunelive1993]

This Amazon guy better tell us why my Echo is still dumb. They must be putting together something rad.

[@berhanegebriel3155]

Mr. Sharma, are you related with Mrs. Palki Sharma of Vantage News of First Post? She and Michelle Makori of Kitco News are my TOP FAVORITES.

[@davidbabich806]

Darn, I wish the interviewer didn’t say yep, yeah, yep, and mmm hmm every three seconds.

[@chrisholliday1330]

Yep

[@bkool2]

Yereeep, yep yep yep yep

[@aidanm5578]

It’s basic business psychology. Hold eye contact, smile and show interest - but deep down just waiting for your turn to speak.

[@KenjiEspresso]

What a bot.

[@berhanegebriel3155]

What were you Expecting? Most of the KZbin journalists are NOT journalists. Even the those who graduated in it use curse or profane words. Most of these things are signs of The End of National Integrity.

[@plamenyankov2182]

RAGs are my mojo!

[@shawnvandever3917]

Its good to have many ideas on getting to AGI. However every time someone says "transformers cant do" they get proven wrong.

[@atirasrc]

these tech bros are really something! the fake confidence and hyperbole! SXSW should have had a joint session with AJL folks and these goofballs

[@operationlegend9746]

😬 you're in for a shock

[@midgetsanchez]

We Are Gods

[@alexanderepifani2657]

top grande

[@godbennett]

cool

[@netscrooge]

The moving background give me motion sickness.

[@RukshanJ]

Oh. You actually watch as well ?

[@berhanegebriel3155]

Creativity Belongs To One And Only God And Lord Jesus Christ. Innovation or The Knowledge of Making is totally by The Created Creatures Blessed By God.

[@oldnewbreed]

no offense but with that thinking we would still be pooping in holes following the animals we eat.

[@Gringohuevon]

oh god..soo boring
