AGI – what are we talking about?

The development of machines that have human-like intelligence is one of the greatest unresolved challenges in computer science. The feeling in today’s world is that this goal is no longer impossible.

Over the last decade, artificial intelligence has made great strides, witnessing the rise of so-called Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). AGI consists of systems that possess intelligence equal to or greater than humans. AGI technologies are based on complex networks with millions of parameters, based on transformer architectures: deep learning models that mimic cognitive attention.

The models focus more on the most important parts of the input data, diminishing the importance of other parts. Additionally, transformers allow for parallelized training, meaning they can process more words at a time. This leads to reduced training times.

GPT-3: features and business value

GPT-3 stands for Generative Pre-Trained Transformer 3. It’s one of the most straightforward models available for building AI applications. Being Generative, it utilises statistical modelling to construct its output text. It is Pre-Trained on four databases, resulting in 175 billion parameters. Its Transformer architecture allows it to “act” like a human, filtering out extraneous information and focusing on the relevant words based on probabilities.

These features make GPT-3 very attractive in organisations' journey towards automation, highlighting its business potential in relation to 4 areas.

Interdisciplinarity

GPT-3 is trained on immense text corpora of data. This means GPT-3 can adapt to countless domains of application.

Readiness

GPT-3 is ready for any use case that requires some level of cognitive skill. Simple proof-of concepts can be realized and validated within minutes.

Accessibility

The ease with which GPT-3 is accessible has enabled its wide adoption. The API release created a paradigm shift in NLP, attracting a large number of beta testers.

Scalability

Although Large Language Models require considerable resources for training, their structure makes them highly efficient for inference. Solutions based on GPT-3 are designed to scale up as required.
