Artificial common sense: what it takes to get AI to actually understand
It may be difficult for us to imagine a world in which AI creates architectural drawings or controls robotics to perform medical surgeries. However, it was once unfathomable that a computer could beat a human at chess or drive a car autonomously. How far away are we from artificial general intelligence, and what obstacles must be overcome to get us there?
Explore in greater depth the complex issues around robust AI and the road to AGI at EmTech Digital next month in San Francisco.

Artificial intelligence
Large language models can do jaw-dropping things. But nobody knows exactly why.
And that's a problem. Figuring it out is one of the biggest scientific puzzles of our time and a crucial step towards controlling more powerful future models.
