The Real AI Frontier Isn't Smarter Machines (with Catherine Williams)

The Real AI Frontier Isn't Smarter Machines (with Catherine Williams)

Dr. Catherine Williams, a former black-hole physicist and early data science leader, explores the field's evolution from Bayesian models to LLMs. She passionately argues that deep mathematical understanding and the ability to build robust mental models are more crucial than ever, even as AI automates technical tasks. Williams also discusses the impact of embeddings, the changing economics of frontier AI, and her work at the nonprofit Candid, advocating for a human-centric approach to intelligence in the age of AI.

A practical guide to the engineering principles and trade-offs involved in training a small language model from scratch on a local machine, based on a workshop by Angelos Perivolaropoulos from ElevenLabs.

The Limits of AI: Generative AI, NLP, AGI, & What’s Next?

The Limits of AI: Generative AI, NLP, AGI, & What’s Next?

Exploring the evolution of AI, this summary breaks down the Data-Information-Knowledge-Wisdom hierarchy, revisits past predictions about AI's limits that have since been surpassed—such as reasoning and creativity—and delves into current challenges like hallucinations, AGI, and sustainability. It concludes by framing a collaborative future where humans define the 'what' and 'why,' while AI executes the 'how'.
