AI

Large language models (LLMs) are starting to get integrated in many of our daily information access activities. But they often hallucinate and provide information that can be harmful. We can’t and shouldn’t trust them blindly, but what choice we have if they become our primary method of accessing information? We want to leverage the enormous potential LLMs have, but we also want them to be trustworthy. How do we do this? I offer three specific suggestions.

Modern AI advancements are full of hopes and hypes and some horrors. The question is – can we address those horrors enough? Or is there a choice to make between autonomy and authority? How will that choice play out in a real world scenario?

There are plenty of hopes and hypes about AI these days, but what is often lacking in these conversations is a set of questions that are more fundamental than what AI could, should and would do. These questions are about what we consider as intelligence, free will, and indeed what it is to be a human. The answers are not going to be easy or fast, but starting to ask these questions could help pave the way for not just the future of AI, but also the future of humankind.
