Session: AI's Evolution : From Symbolic Representations to Generative Intelligence
Artificial Intelligence (AI) has embarked on an extraordinary journey, progressing from symbolic representations to the realm of generative AI. This talk explores AI's captivating journey, providing a concise yet comprehensive overview that begins with its historical origins and traces its remarkable evolution.In today's AI landscape, we witness the prominence of unsupervised learning and generative AI models. We delve into the principles of unsupervised learning, where AI systems autonomously detect patterns and structures within vast datasets, unlocking new dimensions of data analysis and understanding. We also explore the emergence of generative models, exemplified by innovations like GPT-3, which have revolutionized AI by comprehending and generating human-like text, images, and more.
The talk delves into the profound impact of AI's evolution on various industries, spanning healthcare, finance, and creative arts, highlighting its transformative potential. Ethical considerations in AI, including bias and privacy, are also discussed, promoting a holistic perspective on the technology's ongoing progress.
This presentation equips the audience with a deeper understanding of AI's journey, from its roots in symbolic, rule-based, and supervised systems to its present state of generative intelligence, encouraging reflection on the exciting possibilities and challenges ahead as AI continues to shape our world in unprecedented ways.
