“ChatGPT … ChatGPT, Bard and Beyond” (audio & ebook)

Colleagues, the new book “ChatGPT … ChatGPT, Bard and Beyond” (Audible) (Kindle) explores how generative conversational AI has the potential to improve accessibility for people with disabilities and those who struggle with language barriers, as AI models can be trained to understand and respond to a wide range of languages and dialects. Listen or read this new book now on Amazon. Generative conversational AI represents a major shift in how we interact with technology and has the potential to improve many aspects of our lives, from customer service and support to healthcare and accessibility. 

ChatGPT is a specific implementation of Generative conversational AI technology developed by OpenAI. It is a large language model trained on vast text data, allowing it to generate human-like responses to text inputs. In the context of conversational AI, ChatGPT can be used to build chatbots, virtual assistants, and other applications that require the ability to generate text in real time. The model's size and training data allow it to develop highly relevant and human-like text, making it well-suited for various applications. As a state-of-the-art Generative conversational AI, ChatGPT is the perfect tool for organizations looking to step up their communication game. Whether you want to improve interactions with customers, employees, or other stakeholders, ChatGPT makes it easy. Want to see just how much you can achieve with this powerful tool? Key topics include: 1) ChatGPT History and Development, 2) The Technology Underlying ChatGPT, 3) Applications of ChatGPT in Natural Language Processing and Generation, 4) Using ChatGPT for Language Translation and Summarization, 5) ChatGPT in Dialogue Systems and Conversational AI, 6) Ethics and Limitations of ChatGPT, 7) Future Developments and Advancements in ChatGPT, 8) The Impact of ChatGPT on Society, and 9) Conclusions and Next Steps.

AI Software Engineer: ChatGPT, Bard and Beyond (new audio & ebook)

Colleagues, the purpose of the “AI Software Engineer: ChatGPT, Bard and Beyond” (Interview Prodigy series) help software engineers and developers capture their ideal job offer and manage their medium-to-long-term career growth in the global artificial intelligence arena. We will focus on artificial intelligence software engineers and developers in this series. Artificial intelligence has proven to be a revolutionary part of the digital era. As a result, top tech giants like Amazon, Google, Apple, Facebook, Microsoft, and International Business Machines Corporation have been investing significantly in the research and development of artificial intelligence. As a result, these companies are contributing well to making A.I. more accessible for businesses. In addition, different companies have adopted A.I. technology for improved customer experience. For example, in March 2020, McDonald's invested $300 million to acquire an A.I. startup in Tel Aviv to provide a personalized experience for its customers using artificial intelligence. This was its most significant tech investment.

AI Engineers have many opportunities, which will only grow with time. After reading this book, I hope you can identify your ideal job offer and manage your short- and long-term career growth plan, especially in artificial intelligence. The world of artificial intelligence is vast. As I stated earlier in this book, it has a current market size of $136.55 billion based on a 2022 report by CAGR, and it will likely reach a growth rate of 37.3% from 2023 to 2030. You can study artificial intelligence from three aspects. First, the narrow artificial intelligence: this is where you learn about strong AI, artificial general intelligence, and narrow artificial intelligence, also known as weak AI. As I mentioned earlier in this book, the tech we use daily is known as narrow artificial intelligence mainly because it focuses on one narrow task. An example is a chess computer, Siri, or Alexa. Artificial narrow intelligence generally operates within a limited predetermined range. Then there is machine learning, an application that allows systems and computers to learn and improve without being programmed. This idea aims to enable systems to learn and adapt automatically without human involvement or support. Deep learning enables inventors to enhance technology such as self-driving vehicles, speech recognition, and facial identification.
