Tired of AI doomsday tropes, Cohere CEO says his goal is technology that’s ‘additive to humanity’

Associated Press  

Aidan Gomez can take some credit for the ‘T’ at the end of ChatGPT. He’s now the CEO and co-founder of Cohere, a Toronto-based startup competing with other leading AI companies in supplying large language models and the chatbots they power to big businesses and organizations. Q: How do you address customer concerns about AI language models being prone to ‘hallucinations’ and bias? What’s important is that it also allows you to fact check the model, because now instead of just text in, text out, the model is actually making reference to documents. Q: Not only OpenAI but a number of major technology companies are now explicitly saying they’re trying to build artificial general intelligence.
