Why AI is incredibly smart and shockingly stupid

By: Yejin Choi

Through her TED talk, Yejin Choi, a MacArthur Fellow and renowned computer scientist, delves into the cryptic world of artificial intelligence (AI). Yejin, a professor at the University of Washington and senior research director at the Allen Institute for AI, has spent over two decades unraveling the complexity of extreme-scale AI models.

Yejin pushes for a paradigm change in AI development in her fascinating talk, highlighting the need to democratize and humanize AI. She calls into question the dependence on brute-force scale, putting light on AI's worrying lack of common sense through amusing yet informative instances. Her thought-provoking ideas highlight the need of evaluating, strategically choosing fights, and innovating data and algorithms for a more sustainable and ethical AI future.

Quote- "We need to make AI smaller, to democratize it. And we need to make AI safer by teaching human norms and values."
