About this episode
Peggy Smedley and Maria Pacheco, assistant professor of computer science, University of Colorado Boulder, discuss the results of a study surrounding AI (artificial intelligence) solving sudoku puzzles. She says the more complex the problems, the more difficult the time the tools had at solving them.
They also discuss:
- Why even the best tools had a hard time reasoning why they came to an answer.
- The three stages to the language models acquiring the knowledge.
- The main danger that exists and how we can use them for what they are good at.
