When Did We Stop Understanding AI?
This video explains how deep neural networks work, using the example of AlexNet and ChatGPT:
- Early AI models were rule-based and easier to understand. In 2012, AlexNet marked a turning point where AI models became more powerful but also less understandable.
- The new models rely on complex internal processes and high-dimensional spaces.
- This makes it harder to understand and explain how they work.
