Aleksa Gordić — the famed A.I. educator and multilingual-LLM entrepreneur — is my guest today. Brilliant and widely-read, Aleksa opines on what it will take to realize Artificial Super Intelligence and the consequences for humans.
Aleksa:
• Is Founder & CEO of Runa AI, a startup focused on building multilingual LLMs.
• Is an online educator that has built a community of 160,000 people in the A.I. space, including through his A.I. Epiphany YouTube channel.
• Previously, he was an A.I. Research Engineer at Google DeepMind in London and a Machine Learning Software Engineer at Microsoft.
• He holds a degree in Electronics and Computer Science from the University of Belgrade in Serbia.
Today’s episode contains tidbits here and there that will appeal primarily to hands-on machine learning practitioners, but it mostly should be of great interest to anyone.
In this episode, wildly-intelligent Aleksa details:
• Why multilingual LLMs provide so much value despite the cutting-edge LLMs like Claude 3, Gemini Ultra and GPT-4 supporting so many languages.
• His frameworks for entrepreneurial success and for effective self-directed learning.
• His analogy for how humans are born as a checkpoint of a Bayesian model that’s fine-tuned with reinforcement learning from human feedback (RLHF).
• What he thinks it will take to realize artificial super intelligence and what it could mean for human society when it arrives.
