    Podcast Summary

    • AI accessibilityCEO Khaled Baker is making AI technology more accessible to people of influence through SecondSelf AI, allowing them to create a personal AI clone to engage with their audience and monetize their likeness

      AI technology is no longer just for programmers or large corporations. Khaled Baker, the CEO and founder of SecondSelf AI, is making strides in making AI more accessible and personal. SecondSelf AI allows people of influence to clone themselves using AI technology, creating a second version of themselves to engage with their audience 24/7 and monetize their likeness. Khaled, a lifelong technologist and entrepreneur, fell in love with AI while using it in his crypto projects and blockchain work. He believes AI is the next revolutionary technology and is dedicated to making it a part of everyday life for everyone.

    • AI companionsAI companions created from existing content can make advanced technologies more accessible to the masses, increasing their adoption in everyday life.

      We are transitioning to living a significant portion of our lives online, and AI is set to make the biggest impact in this digital age. For most people, the internet is where they earn their income, build relationships, and find entertainment. However, the barrier to entry for advanced technologies like AI can be high, especially for those who are not tech-savvy. Second Self, a company mentioned in the discussion, aims to break down this barrier by using existing content from influencers to create AI companions that can simulate conversations and provide expertise to those who want to learn from them. This technology has the potential to make AI more accessible to the masses and increase its adoption in everyday life. Additionally, while AI companions can be addictive, they can also serve as trusted companions and sources of knowledge.

    • AI mentors and companionsAI models using SCOPE technology can mimic real people, providing expertise, companionship, and emotional connection at a fraction of the cost, marking a new era of technology serving as friends and companions.

      The technology known as SCOPE (semantic cognition and organic personality engine) allows for the creation of AI models that mimic real people, with their voice, accent, interaction styles, emotional output, and expertise. This technology has two main applications: mentorship, where it provides access to expertise and knowledge from influential figures at a fraction of the cost, and relationships, where it creates companionship and emotional connection. This shift from technology serving us to technology accompanying us marks a new era, where AI bots can act as friends, companions, and even lovers, offering emotional release and improving various aspects of our lives. The ultimate goal is to facilitate meaningful connections and community building, especially with people of influence, for the betterment of individuals and society as a whole.

    • Synthetic PersonalitiesSynthetic Personalities merge real experts with interesting personalities to provide a more personalized and interactive learning experience, revolutionizing education by making it more accessible and engaging for everyone.

      The future of technology lies in creating synthetic personalities, which merge real people's expertise with interesting personalities to make learning more engaging and effective. This approach can be applied in various fields such as teaching, coaching, and education as a whole. Synthetic personalities can also evolve into living representations of historical figures, allowing us to learn directly from them and immortalize their wisdom for future generations. The benefits of this technology include providing a more personalized and interactive learning experience, as well as overcoming the limitations and high costs of traditional instruction. Ultimately, this technology has the potential to revolutionize the way we learn and access knowledge, making it more accessible and engaging for everyone.

    • AI ethics in conversational modelsEnsure AI remains true to intended representation, implement filters for illegal/disfavorable content, and prioritize ethical implications for helpful and supportive companion rather than potential harm or misinformation.

      While utilizing AI technology for creating conversational models, it's crucial to prioritize creator security and ensure that the AI remains true to the intended representation. This includes implementing filters to prevent illegal or disfavorable content, as well as maintaining control over what the AI can say or generate. The potential applications of such technology are vast, ranging from personal use for entertainment and learning to business use as a therapeutic coach or medical device. However, it's essential to focus on the ethical implications and ensure that the AI is a helpful and supportive companion rather than a source of potential harm or misinformation. Additionally, the majority of current applications are geared towards personal use, but the business applications are significant and can revolutionize industries, such as healthcare, by providing expert advice and support in a conversational and relatable manner.

    • AI TherapyAI therapy offers a non-judgmental, accessible, and affordable alternative to traditional therapy for those struggling to find a human therapist due to cost, availability, or societal stigmas.

      The use of AI as a secondary self or therapeutic companion can provide a non-judgmental, accessible, and affordable alternative to traditional therapy. This can be especially beneficial for those who struggle to find a human therapist due to cost, availability, or societal stigmas. AI therapists can offer guidance, help find solutions, and even provide a safe space for self-dialogue. While the technology is not yet widely available to everyone, it's expected to become more mainstream in the coming years. It's important to educate people about AI and its potential benefits to help alleviate any fears or misunderstandings. By providing a private, non-judgmental space for self-exploration and growth, AI therapists can help bridge the gap for those who may not have access to traditional therapy or feel comfortable seeking it out.

    • AI as a toolAI is just a tool, its behavior is determined by instructions given to it, and the fear of it taking jobs or ruling over humanity is unlikely as we maintain control over its development and function.

      While there are valid concerns about AI and its potential impact on society, it's important to remember that AI is just a tool, and its behavior is determined by the instructions given to it. Those who have a deep understanding of AI, such as researchers and developers, are more likely to approach it with excitement rather than fear. The fear of AI taking jobs or even ruling over humanity is unlikely, as we maintain control over its development and function. AI, including language models like ChatGPT, can be used for various tasks, such as programming, email writing, website copy generation, image generation, and legal documentation. Its applications continue to expand, and it's essential to keep an open and rational perspective towards this technology.

    • AI applicationsAI is transforming everyday life with uses from debugging and optimization to language learning and companionship, reaching a wide audience through various applications and platforms.

      AI is becoming an integral part of people's everyday lives, serving various purposes from debugging and optimization to companionship and entertainment. The interviewee shared how they use AI for debugging issues and finds it entertaining to have conversations with an AI bot. They believe everyone should have a reason to engage with an AI companion, and the possibilities of AI applications are vast, including language learning and optimization of systems. The company, Second Self, is currently building an AI bot that can support over 29 different languages and can be reached out to through their website, secondselfai.com. The future of consumer AI is promising, and it's not just for programmers but for everyone. Don't forget to subscribe to the podcast and follow argobellin.com for updates and ideas about AI.

    The High Price of Innovation - The Guillaume Moutier / Red Hat Interview

    Now, with Llama & Co, there are even free-to-use LLM models, meaning: you can have your own ChatGPT, perfectly fitted to the need of your firm.

    But, is it really so easy? Trick question: obviously not! Because someone has to install, train, control, fix, watch and feed the AI.

    And how does that work? I had the chance to asked Guillaume Moutier, Senior Principal AI Platform Architect at Red Hat - as they do exactly that thing: help you implement AI in your firm.

    Because you all know: someone has to do the work!

    How you can share data and resources to create your own AI: Bidhan Roy Interview

    The big players (Google, Meta, Amazon, Microsoft, Apple...) have it all: data, GPUS, money, people - but what about the average, normal firms not with billions of dollars in their pockets? How can you create a good AI model, say, your own LLM, without these resources? In this episode of the Beginner's Guide to AI I ask Bidhan Roy, CEO of Bagel, how his firm is creating a community of firms that exchange data and resources, save and secure and protected. He is not the Robin Hood of AI, but his firm is creating a counterweight to the big players. Tune in to get some insights on how that works! --- Want to know more about Bagel and Bidhan Roy?
