Sebastien Bubeck from Microsoft Research makes the case that Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) has emerged with GPT-4, a trillion parameter generative machine which can explain itself. Debate surrounding GPT-4 is how intelligent it is and if it should be used responsibly by people and students, with a Stanford professor discussing the implications of such use.

Sebastien Bubeck makes the case that intelligence has emerged with the trillion parameter generative AIs. He says there are internal representations and learning algorithms inside the systems. Sebastien is a Sr. Principal Research Manager in the Machine Learning Foundations group at Microsoft Research (MSR).

He says the generative systems can be used to explain itself.

GPT-4 still has weaknesses but it can use tools to mitigate those weaknesses. It can call Mathematica to precisely solve math problems.

GPT-4 has strengths in common sense and providing math solutions

GPT-4 does not have planning yet. There are some new systems that are trying to address this by working with GPT4.

GPT-4 is not set up to have much learning or memory. It can only remember within a session.

GPT-4 was slightly dumbed down from the internal testing system in order to address safety issues.

Stanford professor, Rob McBride talks about the implications of using GPT-4 with students. He discusses the need of students to learn to work with AI and its implication with the ethical use of the technology. It is noted that students must also be monitored while using the AI to make sure that they’re using it responsibly. In conclusion, McBride says that even though GPT-4 has weaknesses, its strengths can be used for exploring the potential of artificial intelligence.
