Learning about AI

Learning about the next web revolution.

I've been working on AI for my job, immersing myself in Large Learning Models (LLMs), Generative AI and their narrative in everyday life. I follow a lot of technology but there are two fields that I don't quite "get" - one is blockchain and crypto, and the other being artificial intelligence.

I have learnt that AI is really an umbrella term for a number of technologies. To define it, 

 AI is the technology that enables computers and machines to simulate human intelligence and problem-solving capabilities. 

I have my own opinions on its' application, but I decided that I needed to learn more and started with a Google Digital Garage course, called Boosting productivity with AI. An odd place to start, but I'd already been working on the topic. It was an hour-long livestream that was useful.
