SINCE THE EXCEPTIONAL launch of ChatGPT in November 2022, there has been hardly any day when artificial intelligence (AI) hasn't made a headline. The phenomenal money the companies making it are sitting over, its far-reaching uses, deepfakes, its cons, et al, are some of the things that are written about every single day. Despite that, the larger understanding and known utility are largely restricted to chatbots and image-generators. A lot of what goes behind the screen remains more like a black box. Demystifying the tech and an explainer of sorts is Dream Machine: AI and the Real World by Indian graphic artist Appupen and France-based physics professor Laurent Daudet, who also runs a generative AI startup.
The story revolves around Hugo Klein, of an AI startup , who is in talks with"one of the biggest firms in the world", for a lucrative deal under which a metaverse game is set to be developed to offer some kind of digital immortality. "Any similarity between me and Hugo is coincidental," quipped Daudet at The Night of Ideas organised by Alliance Francaise de RY Delhi earlier this month, where he sat alongside Appupen to discuss their book.
Although all excited at first over the deal, Hugo stumbles upon a roadblock, struggling to make a decision as the bigger and real intentions of gradually unfold.
