In this episode of "A Beginner's Guide to AI," Professor GePhardT dives into the intriguing world of AI responses to politeness and incentives. He explores why phrases like "please" and "thank you," or the mention of a tip, seem to make AI, like GPT4, respond more thoughtfully. The discussion includes how these A-Ice process language and context, a real-world case study of a programmer's experiment with AI responses, and a deeper look into the psychological and programming aspects influencing AI behavior. Engage in an interactive challenge to apply your understanding of AI and join us in a call to action for those passionate about AI.

My guest is Eddie Chang, MD, a neurosurgeon and professor of neurological surgery at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF) and the co-director of the Center for Neural Engineering & Prostheses. We discuss the brain mechanisms underlying speech, language learning and comprehension, communicating human emotion with words and hand gestures, bilingualism and language disorders, such as stuttering. Dr. Chang also explains his work developing and applying state-of-the-art technology to decode speech and using that information and artificial intelligence (AI) to successfully restore communication to patients who have suffered paralyzing injuries or “locked in syndrome.” We also discuss his work treating patients with epilepsy. Finally, we consider the future: how modern neuroscience is overturning textbook medical books, the impact of digital technology such as smartphones on language and the future of natural and computer-assisted human communication.

  • Why you should get your PhD
•     Can We Make Our Robots Less Biased Than We Are?     How AI bots and voice assistants reinforce gender bias     Training AI algorithms on mostly smiling faces reduces accuracy and introduces bias, according to research

• Facial-recognition research needs an ethical reckoning

• I asked GPT-3 for the question to “42”. I didn’t like its answer and neither will you.

  Meet GPT-3. It Has Learned to Code (and Blog and Argue).

Your know the feeling. You're trying to recall the name of a time-keeping musical device or the the actor who played Fredo in "The Godfather" and all that comes to mind is a memory-hole in the shape of a metronome or John Cazale. It's on the tip of your tongue and it's a universal experience of memory retrieval. In this episode of Stuff to Blow Your Mind, join Robert and Joe as they discuss the science of TOT phenomenon and what you can do to prevent it.
