Today’s episode, which, given the gravity of the event, could of course be none other than OpenAI’s new o1 series of models, which represent a tremendous leap forward in AI capabilities.

Explaining AGI to a 94-Year-Old
In today's short episode, I explain "data", "data science", "A.I." and AGI to a 94-year-old woman (my brilliant grandmother) who previously had no familiarity with the terms.
Perhaps the episode will be helpful to folks who are unfamiliar with any of these terms themselves, or to folks who'd like ideas for how to explain any of them to laypeople.
("AGI" is Artificial General Intelligence, btw!)

Superintelligence and the Six Singularities, with Dr. Daniel Hulme
Artificial Superintelligence (ASI) could be realized in our lifetime... some even think within a few years. Today's brilliant guest, Dr. Daniel Hulme, details the six major ways society could be overhauled by ASI.
More on Daniel:
• Chief A.I. Officer at marketing giant WPP.
• CEO of A.I. consulting-services company Satalia.
• Entrepreneur-in-Residence at one of the world's top A.I.-research universities, UCL.
• Co-founder of Faculty and speaker at Singularity University.
• Holds an Eng.D. in computational complexity from UCL.
Today’s episode should be of interest to everyone. In it, Daniel details:
• How and when Artificial Super Intelligence (ASI) may arise.
• The six types of Singularity ASI is expected to unleash.
• Neuromorphic computing.
• How to align A.I. interests with human interests.
• Ways human work could be dramatically automated not just in the future… but this very day.

AGI Could Be Near: Dystopian and Utopian Implications, with Dr. Andrey Kurenkov
In today's episode, you can immerse yourself in one my favorite on-air convos ever: with the exceptional Andrey Kurenkov, on how soon AGI could be realized and the potential utopian/dystopian implications.
Andrey:
Founded and co-hosts my favorite podcast, "Last Week in A.I.", a weekly program that recaps all of the A.I.-related news you need to know about.
Is an ML Scientist at Astrocade, an NVIDIA-backed generative AI platform that converts your natural-language prompt into a functional video game.
Holds a PhD in Computer Science from Stanford University, with research focused on robotics and reinforcement learning.
Today’s episode should be of interest to just about anyone!
In it, Andrey details":
The genesis of the wide range of A.I. publications and podcasts he’s founded.
What the future of text-to-video-game generative A.I. could look like.
Why “A.I. as a product” rarely works commercially, but what you can succeed at with A.I. instead.
Why A.I. robotics is suddenly progressing so rapidly.
In one of my favorite on-air conversations ever, how soon AGI could be realized and the potentially dystopian or utopian implications.

What will humans do when machines are vastly more intelligent? With Aleksa Gordić
Aleksa Gordić — the famed A.I. educator and multilingual-LLM entrepreneur — is my guest today. Brilliant and widely-read, Aleksa opines on what it will take to realize Artificial Super Intelligence and the consequences for humans.
Aleksa:
• Is Founder & CEO of Runa AI, a startup focused on building multilingual LLMs.
• Is an online educator that has built a community of 160,000 people in the A.I. space, including through his A.I. Epiphany YouTube channel.
• Previously, he was an A.I. Research Engineer at Google DeepMind in London and a Machine Learning Software Engineer at Microsoft.
• He holds a degree in Electronics and Computer Science from the University of Belgrade in Serbia.
Today’s episode contains tidbits here and there that will appeal primarily to hands-on machine learning practitioners, but it mostly should be of great interest to anyone.
In this episode, wildly-intelligent Aleksa details:
• Why multilingual LLMs provide so much value despite the cutting-edge LLMs like Claude 3, Gemini Ultra and GPT-4 supporting so many languages.
• His frameworks for entrepreneurial success and for effective self-directed learning.
• His analogy for how humans are born as a checkpoint of a Bayesian model that’s fine-tuned with reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF).
• What he thinks it will take to realize artificial super intelligence and what it could mean for human society when it arrives.
