Cyber Digest: Why AI Hallucinates: Professor Rosman's Guide to LLMs, Machine Learning & The Future

Welcome back to Cyber Digest for a truly mind-bending conversation where we "Decode the Digital Matrix" with one of the 100 most influential people in AI, Professor Benjamin Rosman. Ever wondered why AI models like ChatGPT sometimes confidently make things up? Professor Rosman gives a brilliant explanation of "AI Hallucination" and reveals the surprising reason why your own brain does it too. This episode is a masterclass in understanding the technology that is shaping our world. As a Co-founder of both the Deep Learning Indaba and Lelapa AI, Professor Rosman breaks down everything from the fundamental difference between Machine Learning and Reinforcement Learning to the mission to bring AI to Africa's diverse languages. We dive into the big, existential questions: How do we grapple with the warnings from the "godfather of AI," Geoffrey Hinton? Can a machine ever be conscious? And what does a future where AI automates most jobs actually look like? Professor Rosman shares his provocative belief that "working for a living is immoral" and paints a vision for how AI could free humanity to pursue more meaningful lives. This is the most in-depth and accessible explanation of AI's present and future you will find.
