The CEO of OpenAI, Sam Altman, explains how their AI system, GPT, works.
GPT stands for Generative Pre-trained Transformer and works by ingesting a vast amount of text to learn what words mean and how they relate to each other. The AI can then understand what users want and attempt to help them.
However, Altman admits that the power of AI is both exhilarating and terrifying. He believes people should be happy that they are a little scared of the technology.
OpenAI's CTO, Mira Murati, shows off the new version of GPT, which is capable of answering complicated SAT questions.
