Overthink podcast host and Philosophy professor Ellie Anderson is joined by From First Principles podcast host and Physics PhD Krishna Choudhary to discuss the dangers and promises of artificial intelligence, with a focus on large language models such as ChatGPT. Dr. Choudhary explains how LLMs work and why they are such a technological breakthrough from a scientific standpoint, while Dr. Anderson expresses concerns about students' use of them and how the corporate interests at work tend to underestimate their dangers for humans.
This conversation follows up on Overthink's recent episode, AI Chatbots, which you can find here: https://youtu.be/8s09Aq45iX4?si=zfd9lN1XlDtDq300
