Exploring the World of Artificial Intelligence: Insights from Our Latest Q&A Session
Thank you so much to all the readers who tuned in live to participate in the second installment of our question and answer series focused on artificial intelligence. I was thrilled to see so many questions come in before the event, as well as all the questions that were dropped into the chat during our conversation.
For those who missed the broadcast, don’t worry. We’ve got you covered. Below is a replay of this event that WIRED subscribers can watch at their convenience. Additionally, the livestream from the first session is available here.
Interactive Demos and AI Features
We kicked off the chat with a couple of quick demonstrations showcasing the image and voice features integrated into chatbots. One of the highlights was an example of how to use ChatGPT’s Advanced Voice Mode as a language learning tool, similar to Duolingo. This feature allows users to engage in interactive language practice, making learning more engaging and effective.
For those interested in a deeper dive into some of the live questions we discussed, I recommend checking out my AI advice column for December. It addresses questions about proper attribution for generative tools and how to educate the next generation about AI.
AI-Assisted Notetaking and More
If you’re curious about experimenting with AI-assisted notetaking, I suggest exploring WIRED’s interview with Raiza Martin, the former senior product manager at Google. She played a pivotal role in developing NotebookLM as an experimental project within the company before leaving to focus on her own startup. The podcasts created by NotebookLM, featuring two AI-hosts discussing your files, are both entertaining and surprisingly helpful.
Getting Started with AI
For newcomers who are just beginning to explore AI and experiment with its capabilities, I highly recommend signing up for season two of our AI Unlocked newsletter. In this series, I guide you through various AI tools and provide insights on how to approach this rapidly evolving technology.
Upcoming Events and Future Engagements
At WIRED, we’re about to take some time off for the end of the year, but we’ll be back in January for another 45-minute livestream session on Thursday, January 16 at 1 pm ET / 10 am PT. Mark your calendars and keep sending in every question you can think of about AI. I’ll see you again in the new year!
