An insightful exploration of Chat GPT and other advanced AI systems—how we got here where
we’re headed and what it all means for how we interact with the world. 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 a pioneer in
computational approaches to understanding brain function answers all our urgent questions
about this astonishing new technology. Sejnowski begins by describing the debates surrounding
LLMs’ comprehension of language and exploring the notions of “thinking” and “intelligence.” He
then takes a deep dive into the historical evolution of language models focusing on the role
of transformers the correlation between computing power and model size and the intricate
mathematics shaping LLMs. Sejnowski also provides insight into the historical roots of LLMs and
discusses the potential future of AI focusing on next-generation LLMs inspired by nature and
the importance of developing energy-efficient technologies. Grounded in Sejnowski’s dual
expertise in AI and neuroscience ChatGPT and the Future of AI is the definitive guide to
understanding the intersection of AI and human intelligence.
