Recent public interest in tools like ChatGPT has raised an old question in the artificial intelligence community: is artificial general intelligence (in this case, AI that performs at human level) achievable?An online preprint this week has added to the hype, suggesting the latest advanced large language model, GPT-4, is at the early stages of artificial general intelligence (AGI) as it's exhibiting “sparks of intelligence”. OpenAI, the company behind ChatGPT, has unabashedly declared its pursuit of AGI. Meanwhile, a…

For AI to mirror human intelligence, it must perceive the world as we do AI chatbots are getting so good people are starting to see them as human. Several users have recently called the bots their best friends, others have professed their love, and a Google engineer even helped one hire a lawyer. From a product standpoint, these bots are extraordinary. But from a research perspective, the people dreaming about AI reaching human-level intelligence are due for a reality check. Chatbots…

An AI model compatible with 97 languages — and how to use it withPhoto by DeepMind on UnsplashIt is now clear that the general direction of Deep Learning research has fundamentally changed.A few years ago, the modus operandi of most innovative papers was this: Select a dataset X, build and train a novel model on that dataset, and prove your model was the best by reporting SOTA results. But what happens if we test the model on dataset Y?For example: Train a powerful ResNet on the ImageNet dataset. The model will excel in…

OpenAI’s Whisper will enable speech recognition apps to reach new levels of efficiency Speech recognition or voice recognition technology has come a long since the concept first emerged. But users continue to have only one persisting problem with voice recognition, which is accuracy. Over the past couple of years, researchers have been working on building AI algorithms that can accurately process voice input and consistently focus on the research and development of speech development. Recently, OpenAI’s Whisper is making…
