Advances in Generative Artificial Intelligence (GAI) have created a new class of computer systems that exhibit astonishing proficiency on a wide variety of tasks with superhuman performance, producing novel text, images, music, and software by analyzing enormous collections of digitized information. Soon, these systems will provide expert medical care; offer legal advice; draft documents; write computer programs; tutor our children; and generate music and art. These advances will accelerate progress in science, art, and human knowledge, but they will also bring new dangers. Over the past few years, rapid advances in Machine Learning have created a new subfield of Artificial Intelligence: Generative AI. These programs produce novel text, images, music, and software by analyzing enormous collections of digitized material. The first wave of GAIs are primarily focused on engaging in natural language conversation. Called “Large Language Models” (LLMs), they already exhibit astonishing proficiency on a wide variety of tasks with superhuman performance—as well as a disturbing inclination for falsehood, illogic, and expressions of ersatz emotion, such as declaring their love for interlocutors. They chat with users in plain language and solve a broad range of complex problems with ease. Soon, LLMs will provide expert medical care, dispense legal advice, draft our documents, tutor our children, offer advice, conduct therapy, write computer programs, and manage our organizations and infrastructure. A related class of GAIs generate visual images from simple descriptions that are virtually indistinguishable from human artwork or photographs.
