Future with AI | 2nd | week 4 |.
does AI have in store for us in the future? My crystal ball is a little cloudy, so I don't know if I have a prediction that I would bet money on. What I do know is, what we have seen is the way AI has progressed, it starts fairly slowly, but then it gains steam exponentially. One good example is, DeepMind put the system together that won in the game of Go. It's a 2,500-year-old game, which won against a human opponent. But what's most amazing is while the first system was able to out do 2,500 years of human history in the game, the second generation of that system was able to outplay the first generation of the system in less than one year. And it only took about 40 hours of training for it to be able to achieve that level of proficiency in that game. And it won 100 games out of 100. So what we do know is the pace of which this technology is accelerating is just breathtaking. And it's not something we can predict very well. So if there was one prediction I were to make it's, it's going to get faster, it's going to get better, it's going to get cheaper, and it is going to happen very, very rapidly within a very short period of time. It's going to be an interesting world. It's going to evolve very rapidly. Because these technologies not only can perform tasks that we've never seen automated before, but learn as they do them and continue to improve. So what we'll see is we'll deploy systems and every year they'll get incrementally better at the tasks they're trying to do.
