Graphic with a human brain and waves
Elon Musk continued Openai Friday, alleging that the company diverted from its initial mission, which was transformed from a non -profit organization focused on the benefit of humanity to a profit for Microsoft and others. OPENAI Tuesday A Cont, The problem of this musk was that the company advanced without it. Although only time will tell us how the dispute takes place, at the node are two concepts of artificial intelligence: generative AI and general artificial intelligence. What is the difference and why did the relationship between the two trigger so much controversy?
During the drama of the CEO of Open IA, I wrote a Explanteer on artificial general intelligencewhich includes the definition of AGE by the chief scientist of Openai, Ilya Sutskever, in Tedai 2023.
- He described a key principle of AG as being potentially more intelligent than humans in everything and anything, with all human knowledge to save him.
- He also described acts as having the capacity to teach himself, thus creating new acts, even potentially more intelligent.
What is Genai and where does he come from?
Genai storm the world with the release of Chatgpt in November 2022, because of their ability to generate consistent text issues, answering questions, drilling poetry, images and code writing, to name some examples.
While Genai has many forms depending on the type of content it generates, the current drama is largely focused on wide language models (the type of Genai which generates a language and associated content such as code). This technology started with a type of AI called natural language treatment. The AI reads all the text at its disposal and learns to complete the sentences. For example, if I start with words “I’m very hungry because”, AI will learn that “I haven’t eaten today” is a much more likely completion than “I haven’t played golf today.” A new text is generated via this completion mechanism. This approach has also demonstrated code generation potential and even for Accelerate the discovery of drugs.
A second technology, learning to strengthen human feedback, is added, humans teaching at AI the difference between good supplements and bad supplements. For example, complements “I haven’t eaten today”, “”No one gave me food “ Or alternative supplements that say the same offensively are all theoretically reasonable. However, a human can educate AI that the first is most likely to be acceptable for a varied human audience (Openai customers). Over time, AI learns not only to complete the sentences, but what complete sentences will be better received by human standards.
The combination of these technologies has led to the powerful linguistic language that we see today which seems strangely as a human in their textual responses.
How far Genai and AG are they close?
While AGI is always considered by most as an objective, Genai has most certainly arrived. The key is how the evolution of the Genai can create AG. If we examine the two key principles of the act above, have they been reached?
- The first, an AI that has all human knowledge to support it, is halfway. Genai today is able to consume most public data in a single model (the AI version of a brain). However, it is better in the tasks focused on the language than mathematics and logical reasoning. A living debate exists on the question of whether the Genai (and the major models of the language in particular) are simply “Stochastic parrots”, capable of convincingly imitating human language without understanding. The “fear” of act linked to the drama of the CEO of Openai was due to a specific improvement (Project Q *) What the engineers felt a leap forward in AI doing mathematical reasoning considered essential to AG.
- The second, the possibility of creating new acts, is also on the way. In November 2023, Openai presented GptsA form of agent that can be created to be a personal assistant at any end whatsoever. It is also possible to create code with chatgpt and automatically execute this code to take measures in the real world. Imagine a GPT that can not only read your email and suggest answers, but that will really answer you and may have several messaging exchanges without your direct involvement. For many people, it’s closer to AG.
How is it linked to the trial?
The Openai Accord with Microsoft does not extend to actAnd the director of Openai retains the ability to determine when AG is reached. Meanwhile, the ouster of November (and the return) of the CEO of Openai, Sam Altman, was triggered by beliefs that Openai had reached actAnd some speculate that it is at Core of Musk’s Laws too. We can see the trial as an indication that we quickly reach the point where humanity will require more precise definitions of these terms.
Where we are going from here
The definitions of Genai, ac and their associated capacities depend on who you ask. The only thing we can say with certainty is that Genai evolves quickly, and every day brings a new capacity which can be considered as a step towards act. The Musk / Openai dispute can force more details on the development of AI technology in the public domain, and it can even create a legally binding opinion on what AG is. If nothing else, he will keep this critical subject in the eyes of the public, which, I believe, will help us to think more about this technology and its impact on humanity.
