Communications of the ACM: Artificial Intelligence
Computing has changed significantly since the launch of ChatGPT in 2022. For decades, artificial intelligence (AI) was a subfield of computer science that overpromised and underdelivered. Language mastery has been the holy grail of AI from its early days. Suddenly, computers can communicate fluently in natural language—sometimes nonsense, but...
Large Language Models (LLMs) can do astonishing things, like summarize complex data or generate creative content in seconds. Unfortunately, they also make things up— euphemistically referred to as hallucinating. Hallucinations happen when a model outputs plausible sounding but inaccurate, even nonsensical, responses to prompts, which can undermine LLMs’...
The Role of Autonomous Machine Computing in Shaping the Autonomy Economy https://bit.ly/3x5A6UY February 1, 2024 The Autonomy Economy represents a transformative phase in our society, driven by the integration of autonomous machines such as autonomous vehicles, delivery robots, drones, and more into the provision of goods and services. Central...
Alan Turing’s 1950 paper37 introduced the famed “imitation game” as a means of determining whether a computer can be considered intelligent, thus informing the definition of machine intelligence. Over the years, the Turing test has been the subject of analysis and discussion, resulting in several variants, and has been reflected upon in retrospective...
Back in the mid-1970s, Avi Wigderson had completed his service in the Israeli army and was preparing to head to Technion–Israel Institute of Technology, where he thought he would study mathematics. His parents, though, argued that computer science, then a young field, might be more practical. They were not an academic family, Wigderson said—his...
In the mid-1990s, Peter Shor, at AT&T Bell Labs and then one of its heirs, AT&T Labs, devised the first algorithms that one day could exploit the intrinsic parallelism of quantum computing. In particular, Shor, now at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT), showed that quantum techniques could be exponentially faster than any...
