994: Next Level AI

We’re joined by noted futurologist, entrepreneur and ethicist Nell Watson to look at the next level of AI and some of the most exciting and challenging developments in artificial intelligence today. We talk about how large language models like GPT-3 have evolved far beyond just analyzing data, and can now take on complex tasks and even act as entire virtual corporations. We also explore how advanced AI may challenge our ideas of personhood and responsibility. For anyone interested in the cutting edge of tech and its implications, this extended conversation with Nell provides fascinating insights into both the promises and potential risks of generative AI. Our show this week is brought to you by FIT.ie.  Irish companies use it to grow their tech teams, build some greater diversity in the workplace, which in turn sparks fresh thinking and energy. Financially, they get to avoid high recruitment agency fees and there are state grants of up to €6,000 for each apprentice you take on. If your company wants to free up some more experienced staff and get some fresh energy into your day-to-day tech team, check out the Fastrack into Information Technology Apprenticeship Programme at fit.ie
