Some observers think this may be an inflection point on the road to general artificial intelligence. It’s too soon to make judgments such as that, but it’s not too soon to begin looking at the people who are developing it, not too soon to be seeking a basic understanding of the technology itself. This article will undertake a layman’s look at how the technology works. Then it will highlight a technical leader and a business leader in these early days of GenAI.","PeriodicalId":49045,"journal":{"name":"IT Professional","volume":"36 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140833709","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The elusive answer has increasingly become the topic of ongoing intellectual speculation, both pro and con. Artificial intelligence (AI) has experienced disappointing initiatives since it was first proposed in 1950. In 2023, AI exploded into popular culture. Then, Open AI unveiled the Q-Star mathematical algorithm in late 2023. This introduced the ability for generative AI to reason numerically, dramatically augmenting large language models. This rudimentary breakthrough likely created upheaval at Open AI, possibly even redimensioning the ongoing debate. In the meantime, as humankind approaches the second quarter of the 21st century, further insights may arise through evaluating the dramatic paradigm shifts brought to bear through IT in the preceding 25 years.","PeriodicalId":49045,"journal":{"name":"IT Professional","volume":"101 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.6,"publicationDate":"2024-03-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"140170661","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"计算机科学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
