AI-podden

In our first ever live recording at Epicenter Stockholm, Ather and Mimi Billing open with Kai-fu Lee's prediction that AI will take 50% of jobs by 2027 and the market's projected growth to $184 billion by 2024. Despite major investments, the profitability of large language models (LLMs) remains uncertain. OpenAI's financial success is noted, but high development costs are a concern. Privacy issues with Microsoft's new AI hardware and Google's challenges with its AI overview feature are highlighted. Ethical concerns arise from Scarlett Johansson's lawsuit threat against OpenAI for voice theft. They also discuss recent AI reasoning research and the need for more efficient training methods.
