Make an IIIMPACT - Emergent AI

Make an IIIMPACT - The User Inexperience Podcast

Welcome to another exciting episode of Make an IIIMPACT - The User Inexperience. Today, we have our hosts Makoto Kern, President @ IIIMPACT and his AI Integration team - Brynley Evans and Joe Kraft, who dive deep into the fascinating world of emergent behavior in artificial intelligence. We'll explore the intriguing idea of AI developing consciousness, emotional intelligence, and even empathy. Together, we'll unpack genetic algorithms, the impact of dreams on creativity, and the unexpected nature of emergent behaviors in neural networks.
This episode also covers the latest research efforts into preventing toxic responses in AI and the critical balance between privacy, security, and innovation. We'll ponder over the potential for AI to replace a significant portion of jobs, the role of large corporations like Microsoft in shaping AI's future, and the ethical implications of data usage. Whether it's the integration of AI into everyday tools like Windows or the surprising abilities of models like GPT-2 and Amazon's large language model, we have a lot to discuss!

So, tune in as we navigate the promising yet complex landscape of emergent AI and its impact on society and technology. Let's make an IIIMPACT!
