Wie funktioniert ChatGPT? Wie funktionieren KI-Sprachmodelle und wofür braucht man sie?
Wie funktioniert ChatGPT? Wie funktionieren KI-Sprachmodelle und wofür braucht man sie?

Habt ihr euch jemals gefragt, wie es möglich ist, dass ihr heute eine Unterhaltung mit eurem Computer führen könnt? In unserer neuesten Podcast-Episode von Die Digitalisierung und Wir gehen wir genau dieser Frage nach. Wir, Alexander Loth und Florian Ramseger, stellen euch die Welt der Large Language Models (LLMs) wie GPT-4 vor und erklären, wie sie funktionieren und wofür sie eingesetzt werden können.

Wie funktioniert ChatGPT & Co?

Neben OpenAI, dem Entwickler von ChatGPT, gibt es eine Reihe anderer Anbieter von LLMs. In unserer Episode stellen wir einige davon vor und diskutieren, wie ChatGPT im Alltag eingesetzt werden kann – von der Texterstellung bis hin zur Unterstützung bei alltäglichen Aufgaben.

Wo geht die Reise mit diesen beeindruckenden Sprachmodellen hin? Wir werfen einen Blick in die Zukunft und diskutieren, wo und wie wir diesen fortschrittlichen Technologien begegnen könnten.

ChatGPT, KI Sprachmodelle und die Transformer-Technologie

Aber wie funktionieren KI Sprachmodelle wie ChatGPT eigentlich aus technischer Sicht? Wir erklären die bahnbrechende Transformer-Technologie, die den LLMs zugrunde liegt, und werfen einen Blick auf ihre Erfinder.

Trotz ihrer beeindruckenden Fähigkeiten haben auch diese Modelle ihre Grenzen. Wir sprechen über die derzeitigen Herausforderungen und Einschränkungen der LLMs und was dies für die Zukunft bedeutet.

Vorgestellte Apps

In unserer Episode gehen wir auf praktische Tools ein, die den Alltag erleichtern und die Anwendung von KI veranschaulichen. Headspace ist ein großartiges Beispiel dafür, wie Apps durch gezielte Entspannungstechniken und Achtsamkeitsübungen das Wohlbefinden steigern können. Mit dem Code MOMDAD60 habt ihr die Möglichkeit, Headspace für 60 Tage kostenlos zu testen und in die Welt der Meditation einzutauchen.

Ebenso stellen wir Snipd vor, eine App, die es ermöglicht, wichtige Momente aus Podcasts schnell zu erfassen und zu speichern. Dies ist besonders nützlich für diejenigen unter euch, die sich für die neuesten Trends und Diskussionen im Bereich der digitalen Transformation und KI interessieren.

Lesenswerte Bücher

In Bezug auf die Lektüre sprechen wir in der Episode über das Buch Decisively Digital, das einen tiefen Einblick in die Anwendung von KI im Geschäftskontext bietet. Das Buch ist eine essenzielle Ressource für alle, die verstehen möchten, wie GPT und andere KI-Technologien die Geschäftswelt nachhaltig verändert und wie man diese Technologie effektiv einsetzen kann.

Das Buch Decisively Digital von Alexander Loth gibt Einblicke in die Anwendung von KI in der Geschäftswelt.

Als Kontrast dazu empfehlen wir den Thriller Ausgebrannt von Andreas Eschbach. Dieser Roman fesselt nicht nur durch seine spannende Handlung, sondern regt auch zum Nachdenken über die potenziellen Auswirkungen von Technologie auf unsere Gesellschaft an. Es ist ein perfektes Beispiel dafür, wie fiktive Szenarien helfen können, reale technologische Entwicklungen besser zu verstehen und kritisch zu reflektieren.

Three years ago, while drafting my book Decisively Digital (Amazon), I believed that the peak popularity of artificial intelligence (AI) was nearing its zenith. Little did I realize then how profoundly and rapidly the landscape of AI would transform, much like the unexpected and remarkable discovery of the Higgs boson in particle physics. The current surge in AI interest, fueled by innovations like ChatGPT and Copilot, has catapulted AI into a realm of unprecedented growth and societal impact.

AI’s Journey: From Concept to Ubiquity

The journey of AI from a niche concept in the labs of computer scientists to a ubiquitous force in society mirrors the trajectory of many revolutionary technologies. In its infancy, AI was a subject of academic curiosity, often confined to theoretical discussions and small-scale applications.

However, as technology advanced, we witnessed the birth of practical AI applications. From rudimentary chatbots to sophisticated machine learning algorithms, AI began to find its footing in the real world. These applications, although impressive, were just the tip of the iceberg.

Today, AI is not just a tool but a companion in our digital journey. Platforms like ChatGPT have democratized AI, making it accessible to everyone. They’ve turned AI from a mere concept into a daily utility, reshaping how we interact with technology and each other.

AI’s Impact on Society

AI is redefining job roles and industries. It’s automating mundane tasks, enhancing productivity, and even creating new career paths. While there are concerns about AI displacing jobs, it’s also undeniable that AI is creating opportunities for more creative and strategic roles.

As AI becomes more ingrained in our lives, ethical and societal considerations come to the forefront. Issues like privacy, bias in AI algorithms, and the digital divide need urgent attention to ensure that AI benefits society as a whole.

From personalized recommendations on streaming services to AI-assisted medical diagnostics, AI’s presence in our daily lives is growing. It’s not just a corporate or academic tool; it’s becoming a personal assistant, a healthcare advisor, and much more.

The Future of AI and Society

The future of AI is not just about technological advancements but also about how we, as a society, adapt to these changes. It’s about ensuring that AI grows in a way that is ethical, equitable, and beneficial to all.

As AI continues to evolve, it’s essential for individuals and organizations to stay informed and adapt to these changes. Embracing AI doesn’t mean blind adoption; it means understanding its capabilities and limitations and using it to enhance our lives and work.

AI is a catalyst for innovation, driving advancements in various fields. Its potential to solve complex problems and create new opportunities is immense. We are just scratching the surface of what AI can achieve.

Conclusion

The growth of AI, much like the discovery of the Higgs boson, is a breakthrough moment in our history. It’s a testament to human ingenuity and a reminder of the rapid pace of technological change. As we stand at this crossroads, it’s crucial to ponder how AI will shape our society and how we, in turn, will shape AI. The journey of AI is not just about technological development; it’s about the evolution of our society as a whole.
