As we settle down to the reality of AI, I can see a lot of excitement in our teams. While some of this could be the “new office” effect, a lot of it comes from our future products & markets, especially centred around AI.
I remember sharing the same excitement many years ago – just after the IBM PC clones were launched. Ultimately, both businesses as well as people adapted & adjusted to the developments.
I’m sure that the same positive outcome will repeat this time around too.
LLM (Large Language Model) is the new name for NLP (Natural Language Processing). And its legendary progress is there for all to witness & experience.
But from the recent news headlines (reproduced above, which seem driven by a single PR brief), it does look like the big AI firms are collectively warning us of a likely slowdown.
This is quite a significant development, considering that:
The apparent concern for the future of the workforce is laudable. But since when was big business concerned about “welfare of the human race”?!
Come to think of it, human intelligence has always been measured by its capacity to understand & use words – also known (till recently) as natural language processing. And this should not surprise us at all.
After all, in the beginning there was The Word (John 1:1).
Its Greek root “logos” includes much more: logic, reason, & cosmic order.
Islamic scholars agree that the word or “kalam” was created by God and has neither beginning nor end.
And the Vedas go a step further to define the minimum unit of speech – akshar (अक्षर) – which are defined as the eternal, indestructible elements of the cosmic sound (नाद ब्रह्मन्). Akshars are the building blocks of words (शब्द).
Words and only words are used to define anything & everything in the Universe, including the Universe, the nature of Creation, and God Himself.
All this should serve to establish the foremost position of The Word. And explain why natural language processing is the basis of all individual & collective human intelligence.
What can be said to mark the recent, spectacular advance of AI?
Some attribute this to a significant increase in accuracy. Others quote the practical use of agentic workflows & overall enhanced reliability.
But according to me, the real defining moment arrived when AI was able to accurately & consistently mimic “native human intelligence”. This spectacular technological breakthrough was based on the convergence of 3 unconnected, individual developments – spanning the last few centuries!
These are:
What are these centuries old statistical & mathematical methods?
How & when did high computing power become affordable?
Who are some of the early champions of NLP aka LLM?
But that’s a story for another day.
