GAints ARE BREAD Ep 3 - How do we deal with the onslaught of A.I as it disrupts an entire industry?

Ask our AI Avatar at www.gridsynergy.sg/csa What exactly is AI?
We define it as a field of computer science that tries to at first mimic human intelligence, but eventually also expands beyond our capabilities. There are different kinds of intelligence: visual intelligence, which is tied into computer vision, so that computers understand images, videos and the visual world. Then there is motor intelligence. That’s not as unique in the animal kingdom, but it's still non-trivial to replicate, and is connected to the field of robotics. Natural language understanding is, to my mind, the most interesting manifestation of human intelligence. Trying to understand and also generate language is the one intelligence that separates us the most from other animals and also connects deeply to culture, history, knowledge, thought and everything else. Financially speaking, it’s also the most impactful field of artificial intelligence right now. Search engines are based on natural language, so are advertising and translation. Has such smart software already bested its human creators? We've expanded artificial intelligence and are doing things that no human could do, for instance, reading a sequence of proteins, and being able to create a brand-new protein. Humans have not evolved to read sequences of amino acids and understand the language of proteins, but artificial intelligence can read billions of documents or billions of protein sequences. In biomedical applications, artificial intelligence is already much superior to human intelligence. The same is true for a lot of other things, like business processes. When artificial intelligence can read millions of documents, it can understand how often an engine fails and perform predictive maintenance. There’s another flavor of alternative intelligence that is getting a lot of attention right now: generative AI. How is that technology different from what you just described? The difference between generative artificial intelligence and the previous wave of intelligence was that it was much better at understanding inputs that we can use. Now, artificial intelligence has also gotten really good at creating these inputs. You can use generative AI to have it write code, essays and articles for you. And you can use artificial intelligence to generate images. Music will be next. Eventually, artificial intelligence will be able to generate complex movies. Generative AI has made a ton of progress recently, hence the huge excitement.
