Sample Book Insights: #1 In late 2017, an artificial intelligence program developed by Google DeepMind defeated the most powerful chess program in the world. The tactics AlphaZero deployed were unorthodox, but it did so because it predicted they would maximize its probability of winning. #2 MIT’s AI was able to identify a new antibiotic that had not been discovered by humans. It did not just process data more quickly than humanly possible, but it also detected aspects of reality humans have not detected or cannot detect. #3 Generative models, like GPT-3, are difficult to evaluate because they do not solve specific problems. They generate possible responses to various inputs, and their results seem uncannily human. #4 AI, the technology that can perform tasks that require human-level intelligence, has rapidly become a reality. It is becoming ubiquitous, and humans are developing new and exceedingly powerful mechanisms for exploring and organizing reality.
