  I believe everyone has one common goal in life, which is to be happy. It has also been well established that you can’t really pursue happiness but rather it is the result of concerted action towards your closely cherished dreams.

Among these, Artificial Generative Intelligence (AGI) and Generative AI stand out due to their transformative capabilities. While they are often mentioned together, it’s essential to understand their differences and the latest trends shaping their evolution. AGI represents the aspiration to create systems

Transformative power of AI

  Mastering AI by Jeremy Kahn was an excellent book I read this week on the subject. His main premise is that the light bulb moment for AI came in Nov 30th 2022 with ChatGPT. The significant difference in this technology is the pace of disruption which is unparalleled and potentially impact our livelihood. I agree that AI should be used to augment humans and not replace them. Jeremy Kahn's concluding thoughts: "Individually and collectively, we must have courage. Like every other technology that has come before, we can master AI. But to do so, we must master ourselves. We must apply our own natural intelligence, creativity, and wisdom. If this is indeed the last invention humanity ever creates, we'd better make it good." I agree and this is a great read. As we navigate the ever-evolving landscape of technology, Generative AI has emerged as a groundbreaking innovation with far-reaching implications across various industries.
