The document discusses the past, present, and future of artificial intelligence (AI). It describes how AI has advanced due to increases in data and improvements in algorithms and computing technology. An example of AI, ChatGPT, is discussed as using large language models, pre-training, and transformers to generate language. The future of AI is uncertain but could involve neural networks that mimic the brain more closely. AI may disrupt many industries like education and research in the coming years or decades through forces of digitization, disruption, and other factors. The impacts and timeline of AI progress are difficult to predict precisely.

of the worlds data was generated in
the last 2 years
Improved computer technology
Breakthroughs in algorithms and

The training is done by neural networks that mimic
the brain learning by adjusting weights of each
neuron/node). Training stops when the right result is
achieved. That network is then a model that can
produce {mostly} the right answer from data it has
never seen before

treats text etc. as tokens
