AI's Rapid Evolution: From IBM Watson to GPT-4 and AlphaFold
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has swiftly advanced, with machines now tackling tasks once deemed impossible. IBM Watson, for instance, gained fame by winning Jeopardy! and now aids in healthcare, finance, and customer service. Meanwhile, OpenAI's GPT-4 and DeepMind's AlphaGo and AlphaFold have pushed AI boundaries, while Tesla's Full Self-Driving AI aims for autonomous driving.
AI can be categorized into Narrow (Weak) AI, excelling in specific tasks like Google Search or chatbots, and General (Strong) AI, mimicking human intelligence across domains. GPT-4, for example, understands and generates human-like text, excels in coding, and solves complex problems. DeepMind's AlphaGo demonstrated extraordinary problem-solving by defeating Go champions, while AlphaFold revolutionized biology by predicting protein structures with near-human accuracy.
Tesla's Full Self-Driving AI, however, still requires human intervention, highlighting the challenges in achieving superintelligent AI, which surpasses human intelligence in all aspects. Google DeepMind's Gato, released in May 2022, is a polyvalent multimodal model trained on hundreds of tasks, showcasing AI's versatility and potential.
AI's rapid evolution, from IBM Watson to GPT-4 and AlphaFold, has transformed various sectors. As AI continues to advance, understanding its capabilities and limitations is crucial for harnessing its potential and addressing its challenges, such as achieving superintelligence and ensuring safe, responsible AI development.
