The rapid emergence of AI technology has made it an inevitable part of our future. In a recent TED talk, Mustafa Suleyman, the CEO of Microsoft AI, described AI not just as a tool but as a budding "digital species." There is also an ongoing online debate on whether General Artificial Intelligence is just around the corner.
Currently, it seems that a significant increase in energy supply will be needed to train these much more powerful and intelligent models, suggesting that another big leap is still some time away. In this talk, we will explore some of the present possibilities and discuss how we should adapt and educate our students to harmoniously coexist with these new "digital species".
