Artificial Intelligence continues to advance at an unprecedented rate, but are we falling victim to the hype and misconceptions surrounding its true capabilities? In this enlightening and thought-provoking discussion, Professors Gary Marcus and Michael Wooldridge take us on a journey to uncover the truth behind AI’s capabilities, limitations, and the future of this groundbreaking technology.
Join us as they explore the current state of AI models like GPT-4 and how they differ from human intelligence, dissecting the difference between intelligence and understanding, and providing valuable insights into the potential role of AI in shaping future technologies. Along the way, they also address the Swiss Cheese Problem and its implications on AI performance, and the intenSion and extension of understanding in language models.
Whether you’re an AI enthusiast, a researcher, or simply curious about the future of technology, this conversation will provide you with a better understanding of the intricate world of AI and its implications on our lives. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to learn from two leading experts in the field as they separate fact from fiction in the rapidly evolving world of artificial intelligence.
