Lesson 8: The Future of AI

What you've learnt about how AI works

AI is very good at finding patterns in data.

  • It can be used for classification, prediction or generation.
  • Generative AI can make text, images, audio, video and code.
  • The Large Language Models (LLMs) used in generative AI predict tokens. They do not understand text like humans.
  • GPUs and data centres power the large LLMs that most people use today.
