Helen here are the issues I will be talking about with Lehigh alumni in our micro course in April:

1.Generative artificial Intelligence will give way to Transformative Artificial Intelligence within the next 5 years.
2. Another Artificial Intelligence winter is looming because we don’t have the tools yet to create the Consciousness part of Intelligence.
3. Leaving most development of Artificial Intelligence to corporations whose main purpose is pursuit of profit, leaves not enough resources to develop the UpperCase creative concepts needed
4. The best way to participate in new development products and services of Artificial Intelligence will be to use mathematical concepts such as Algebra, Geometry and Calculus with text, images and soon videos instead of numbers.
5. Anyone wanting to to become part of the Artificial Intelligence industry or discussion must first understand and know a definition of what Human Intelligence is.

Thanks for this detailed and thoughtful post. In addition to the question of copyrighted works as inputs to AI, will you be writing about how copyright law and patent law will affect the outputs of AI? This brief seems to indicate that AI outputs cannot be neither copyrighted nor patented:

This seems like a big stumbling block for a lot of potential uses.
