    Love or hate: Technology smarter than humans aka AGI?

    You might prefer writing on clay tablets, but progress is inevitable. Your personal feelings towards it aren't as important as whether you can harness technology to benefit your business. If you can, you'll free up resources for what matters most in your business…

    Is AI more of a chance or a challenge for humanity?

    Every breakthrough technology that we have invented as a species has potential good and bad outcomes in terms of widely shared human values.

    Svenja Schölermann, Women in AI

    What's the craziest thing about AI you've heard so far?

    I am still fascinated in general when AI comes to conclusions that are not really traceable or understandable for its developers anymore. Still, they somehow also make sense. In the field of LLM we have this - it is called "Emergent abilities" which is when…

    Dipanshu Gupta, AI Equity Research Analyst

    Any tips, tricks or hacks regarding the use of AI?

    A LLM does not have an eraser like you: it cannot go back and undo the tokens it generated. So its output is just a stream of consciousness. And for that, the output is remarkable. In many cases, it is incredibly helpful to give the LLM back its response and ask it to find 5 ways to fix it.

    Which AI tool do you personally use the most?

    Definitely ChatGPT. Not just on the office computer, but especially on the smartphone. I search a lot less on Google, but instead take photos of things and have GPT explain them to me. Aside from that, I use meeting transcription and summarization tools. I continue to write interview answers by hand.

    Any tips, tricks or hacks regarding the use of AI?

    Tilman Scheel, CEO reelport

    Love or hate: Technology smarter than humans aka AGI?

    What does "smart" mean? I was educated to engage in what they call "emotional intelligence" in relationships, for example. Will an AGI be emotinally smart? Probably not. AI and even AGI will solve a particular set of tasks better than humans (as does a pocket calculator) but it will never equal or surpass a human in all his complexity.
