Bonus moments in AI

In case you missed them, here are some major moments in AI during the past several years…

IBM Watson

IBM Watson is a computer system that competed against two previous champions on the quiz show Jeopardy! in February 2011. The three-night event was widely publicized and attracted an average of 23.5 million viewers, making it one of the most-watched episodes of Jeopardy! in history.

Watson was able to access and process information from the vast amount of information found on the Internet, which allowed it to answer questions in a way that was far more comprehensive and accurate than the other contestants. 

It also had the ability to learn and adapt over time, which allowed it to improve its performance over the three days. In the end, Watson won the competition by a significant margin, defeating the champions. 

Watson's victory was a major milestone in the development of artificial intelligence, and it showed that machines could now compete with and even surpass people in certain tasks.

OpenAI

OpenAI was founded in December 2015 by Elon Musk, Sam Altman, Ilya Sutskever, Wojciech Zaremba, and Greg Brockman. The company's mission is to ensure that artificial general intelligence, or AGI, benefits all of humanity. OpenAI has developed a number of technologies, including the GPT-3 language model and DALL-E.

It remains one of the leading research organizations in AI. The company's work has the potential to help shape the future of artificial intelligence, and its stated commitment to safety and transparency could play an essential part in ensuring that AI is used for good.

AlphaGo

In March 2016, AlphaGo, a computer program developed by Google DeepMind, defeated a professional human Go player, Lee Sedol, in a five-game match. This was a major breakthrough for artificial intelligence, as Go is one of the most complex games featuring more possible moves than there are atoms in the universe.

AlphaGo uses deep reinforcement learning, which allows it to learn by playing games against itself. It was trained on a massive dataset of human Go games, and it was able to quickly develop a deep understanding of how the game works.

AlphaGo's victory over a human player showed that computers can now compete with and even defeat the best human players in complex games. This was a significant step towards the development of AGI (Artificial General Intelligence).

Deepfakes

In 2017, a user named "deepfakes'' posted a series of videos on the community platform Reddit. They included the faces of popular actors, but these realistic videos which were generated using machine learning algorithms. The videos quickly went viral and sparked growing concerns about the potential misuse of this technology.

Deepfakes are a type of synthetic media created with AI. They are a relatively new technology, but they have the potential to be used for a variety of purposes.

What’s concerning is that they could be used to create fake political ads, or to damage someone's reputation. However, they could also be used for positive purposes, such as creating educational content or making movies more realistic.

The role of deepfakes in the development of AI is still being debated. Some experts believe that it’s a dangerous form of technology, while others believe that it’s a powerful tool that could be used for good. 

ChatGPT

ChatGPT is an artificial intelligence chatbot developed by OpenAI and released in November 2022. It is built on top of OpenAI's GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 and has been fine-tuned using both supervised and reinforcement learning techniques.

ChatGPT is designed to be informative and as comprehensive as it can be. It can answer a wide range of questions–including those that are open-ended, challenging, or just plain strange. It can also generate different types of text, like code, musical pieces, email, letters, to name just a few.

Scientists and engineers continue to release updates and use new techniques in order to improve the platform. Hopefully this tutorial has sparked your interest in learning more about the power of AI. If you want to see how much you’ve learned, be sure to take the final quiz!
