DigitalRosh CONNECT: 29-Jan-2023 (Y23W05)

Y23W05

Ray Kurzweil, our person of the week, wrote in his book “The Singularity is Near” (2005): “By the end of this decade, computers will disappear as distinct physical objects, with displays built in our eyeglasses, and electronics woven in our clothing, providing full-immersion visual virtual reality.”

Despite the fact that almost two decades have passed since, Kurzweil’s predictions are not yet fully materialized – but now we can at least start to understand what he meant. Read below to find out more about the latest and greatest in digital technology.

Wishing you all an enlightening learning,

Prof. Yesha Sivan, Founder, and CEO

ChatGPT Passed US Medical Licensing Exams

 

A study performed by researchers from Ansible Health, a US-based medical startup, evaluated the performance of ChatGPT on its ability to perform clinical reasoning. ChatGPT was tested on questions from the United States Medical Licensing Examination (USMLE) and was able to perform at or near the passing threshold for all three exams. The results also showed a high level of concordance and insight in its explanations. 
LLMs (Large Language Models) such as ChatGPT are a new type of AI algorithm trained to predict the likelihood of a given sequence of words based on the context of the words that come before it. These results suggest that LLMs may have the potential to assist with medical education and potentially clinical decision-making.

Person of the Week: Ray Kurzweil The Singularity Man (Video)

 

Ray Kurzweil is an American inventor, futurist, and author best known for his predictions and theories about artificial intelligence and the future of technology. He is the author of several books on the subject, including The Age of Intelligent Machines and The Singularity Is Near.

Kurzweil has been an advocate of the idea of “the singularity,” which is the point at which artificial intelligence surpasses human intelligence, and is a proponent of the idea of a “technological singularity.” He has also been an outspoken critic of the potential dangers of artificial intelligence, arguing that it could be used for malicious purposes.

In a short interview, Neil deGrasse Tyson and Ray Kurzweil discuss the concept of singularity and its implications for the future. Kurzweil predicts that this will occur in about 2045. He believes that this new era of intelligent software will help to augment and expand civilization, leading to a more abundant and safe world. Kurzweil is currently researching at Google to create software that will have human-like abilities and make the singularity a reality.
