It has been barely three years since ChatGPT was released, and it has already upended the job market. Every day we hear about layoffs due to AI, and it seems like anyone who isn't fluent in AI is being left behind. At the same time, there are still serious concerns with AI, including environmental impact, hallucinations and sycophancy, and broader issues about preparing entry-level workers with the skills for future high-level roles.
As artificial neural networks evolve, they can now recognize faces, write stories, and even create art. Some argue that these algorithms have passed the "Turing Test"—a benchmark for evaluating machine intelligence. In this thought-provoking lecture, we will explore how modern AI illuminates and challenges our understanding of what it means to be human in a rapidly changing technological landscape.
