REDEFINING OUR RELATIONSHIP WITH WORDS

WORDS, THE BUILDING BLOCKS OF OUR COMMUNICATION, HISTORY, AND KNOWLEDGE, ARE NOW FOOD FOR AI’S ‘THOUGHT’. THIS ISN’T JUST A TECHNICAL LEAP. IT’S A FUNDAMENTAL SHIFT FROM THE INFORMATION AGE TO ONE THAT ASPIRES TO KNOWLEDGE

Once again, we stand at the precipice of a technological revolution, this time spearheaded by Artificial Intelligence (AI). Like a recurring motif in the grand narrative of technological evolution, AI emerges every couple of decades, brimming with promise, only to fall short of our sky-high expectations. However, today, the story is unfolding differently; the most recent advances in AI are not just a fleeting fascination—they are a transformative force that will reshape our world.

At the heart of this change are ‘transformers’, a groundbreaking class of AI algorithms. These algorithms read and interpret text in ways previously unimaginable, digesting vast libraries of words, grasping the intricate dance of language, and crafting text that is startlingly human-like. But how do they achieve this feat?
