Council Post: In Summary And Conclusion: How AI Can Tell Us What We Need To Know

Deep learning models like Google's BERT and the new OpenAI GPT-3 have brought machines much closer to approximating human understanding. The keyword here is "approximating" because these deep learning models don't actually understand the text they see. While not perfect, they have become much better at predicting what words might come next in a given sentence or search string. Does this mean we're getting close to true artificial intelligence (AI)? Not yet, although machines will soon be able to do the heavy lifting when it comes to data analysis so that all we will have to do is step in and interpret the results.
