Curious Saturday: Why AI is incredibly smart and shockingly stupid – A TED Talk by Yejin Choi

Are we creating a new intellectual species with AI? In her captivating TED talk, computer scientist Yejin Choi reveals the problems and challenges we face with massive artificial intelligence systems. She highlights the three key issues with cutting-edge large language models, including their inability to reason with common sense. But that’s not all – extreme-scale AI models come with a hefty price tag, leading to power concentration and a lack of transparency. Plus, their carbon footprint is massive, and their safety and effectiveness are questionable. So, what’s the solution? Choi suggests democratizing AI by making it smaller and safer, teaching it human norms and values. Drawing an analogy from “David and Goliath,” she urges us to know our enemy, choose our battles, and innovate our weapons.
