"As we stand on the cusp of what feels like science fiction becoming reality, the journey from here is charged with both promise and responsibility." - GPT4
One year ago, ChatGPT and Stable Diffusion exploded onto the scene and shocked the world into a new revolution. Overnight, AI became a word used in every household and every one scrambled (and continues to scramble) to understand how AI will impact their personal lives, their companies, their schools, and the broader world around them. Since then, things have only accelerated.
In this lightning talk, we'll explore where AI is now, and how it's affecting economics, politics, art, energy, health care, entertainment, and study. We'll explore what part of the hockey stick we appear to be sitting on, and what to expect in the coming months and years. Though this talk will focus on the big picture, we'll of course have to geek out a little on some of the new tech and platforms coming out that you should be considering leveraging (like LangChain, Sora, ChatGPT 5, and Claude 3, to name a few). Finally, we'll bump into some of the biggest concerns we face as a human race, such as the alignment problem, the loss of livelihoods, and the challenge of being in a world changing hyper rapidly around us.
