Unraveling AI, Language, and the Boundaries of Consciousness with Walter De Brouwer
On this episode of Jolty, Adam and Faith are joined by Walter De Brouwer, a theoretician on artificial intelligence with an over 30 year career in the field. Walter has established several AI and deep tech companies, 4 of which even underwent public offerings. He’s here to walk us through AI and computer language models, black holes, further innovations in AI coming down the pike, and even the history of language itself. Is uploading consciousness even possible? How far are we from having actual AI lovers like in the movie “Her” with Joaqin Phoenix? Where and when did human language originate? Answers to these questions and much more on this week’s Jolty!
