The promise of new large-scale systems and multi-disciplinary innovations powered by Generative AI is founded on its potential for unprecedented knowledge integration. How would it positively impact our world?
Like many of us, I have been trying out chatGPT and its ilk; been listening to the implications of Generative AI (“GenAI”) from pundits — in startups to large corporations, academia, neuroscientists, and linguists.
While chatGPT’s failures in answering questions and hallucinations have been spectacular as documented, I have been impressed by the answers it does get right.
In those answers lie its potential — the promise of what it could be when GenAI or its successors get things right; the promise of AI-powered large scale integration of everything — of information, services, products, industries, and more.
But first, an excerpt from my q&a with chatGPT.
A Question and its Answer
I asked chatGPT to find the ties across three domains — neuroscience, behavioral economics, and public policy. The answer matched my own realization after 50-hours of coursework and research in these fields and more reflection afterwards!
