Azhar: Commercial and research AI models lack inner rehearsal mechanisms
“But it doesn't feel like current AI certainly The stuff that's in implemented commercially, or even that's published at a research level is really bridging into this area that we're talking about, these rehearsal mechanisms.”
Azhar: Machine learning model design prioritizes outcomes over explainable reasoning
“The way that you build a system that predicts using machine learning is, is very utilitarian, right? You say there's some cost function you want to minimize, there's some objective function we want to target, and then you train it, and you don't really worry a…”
Azhar: Microservice architectures allow targeted AI optimization without AGI
“In practical software architectures, we're starting to see the rise of microservices. What's nice about microservices are very, very cleanly defined systems. So you don't need generalized intelligence. You just need very specialized optimizations. And as our s…”
Azhar: Competitive dynamics compel businesses to allocate capital to AI
“As soon as you start within a particular industry category to use AI and get benefit from it, the increased profits you get, you reinvest into more AI. Which means your competitors have to follow suit. So you can't now, now build an Xbox video game without ton…”
Azhar: AI startups must target niche applications to survive big tech
“So it does feel like there are a lot of AI startups who are going to run up against this problem of both data and distribution, but that said, there are particular niche applications where you can imagine a startup being able to compete because it's just not o…”
