ChatGPT and the Future of AI: The Deep Language Revolution
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.

What People are Saying About This

From the Publisher

“A terrific, full-scoped introduction to the capabilities, potential, and limitations of large language models from one of the seminal pioneers of AI.”
—Eric Siegel, PhD, cofounder and CEO of Gooder AI; author of The AI Playbook
 
“Sejnowski masterfully separates language mastery from reasoning, helping us understand that when ChatGPT says, ‘I understand, sort of,’ it’s entirely superficial.”
—John Maeda, VP of Engineering and Head of Computational Design/AI Platform at Microsoft; author of The Laws of Simplicity, Redesigning Leadership, and How to Speak Machine: Computational Thinking for the Rest of Us
