In ChatGPT and the Future of AI, the sequel to The Deep Learning Revolution, Terrence Sejnowski offers a nuanced exploration of large language models (LLMs) like ChatGPT and what their future holds. How should we go about understanding LLMs? Do these language models truly understand what they are saying? Or is it possible that what appears to be intelligence in LLMs may be a mirror that merely reflects the intelligence of the interviewer? In this book, Sejnowski answers all our urgent questions about this astonishing new technology.

Encouraging listeners to reassert their common humanity beyond the seductive sheen of “tech,” this book argues for tech agnosticism—not worship—as a way of life.

DESPRE AUDIOBOOK. Atenția noastră a ajuns monedă de schimb într-o lume în care valoarea unui individ se măsoară în funcție de cât este de productiv. Ne sacrificăm libertatea, forța de gândire, sănătatea fizică și pe cea mintală pentru a satisface o piață capitalistă care nu ține cont de nevoile noastre. În cartea de față, câștigătoare a numeroase premii și una dintre preferatele fostului președinte Barack Obama, autoarea ne arată unde greșim în această tranzacție. Ea nu promovează retragerea din societate, asemenea filozofiilor din vechime, ci mai degrabă o schimbare a perspectivei.

Oggi internet, con tutti i suoi pericoli e le sue opportunità, fa parte della vita dei bambini e delle competenze che dovranno acquisire per stare al mondo. Tra i genitori c’è chi ha rinunciato alla battaglia per tenere sotto controllo i contenuti a cui sono esposti i propri figli e li lascia navigare da soli in rete, e chi, nel dubbio, vieta tout court smartphone e tablet. Chi ha ragione? Secondo Giuseppe Lavenia, che si occupa da decenni della delicata relazione tra bambini e strumenti digitali in veste di psicoterapeuta e formatore per insegnanti e genitori, nessuno dei due.
