1 year on - AI Safety

Its about a year now since ChatGPT launched, but the advancement still keep coming, maybe we can start to see what we can do with it, it is very crowded, and many are making promises. I think there is much to explore as we go forward, there is much more to consider too, slowing down can only be a good thing. We need to consider the impact of New technology, this week the UK holds the AI safety summit. I don’t think AI will just solve all our problems, some things we need to fix first, But I still think AI will be a useful tool for many of us in many ways. I look forward to exploring exciting advancements with you and discussing the implications of these in your life and mine.
