37 分钟You might think of artificial intelligence as self-training,
that ever since it was invented,
it's been working on itself, engaged in a form of continuous self-improvement.
Isn't that the definition of intelligence?
Well, not exactly.
It turns out that what makes AI intelligent is human intelligence.
Almost like a child, there are people who are training it,
honing its skills, schooling it in the complexities of the world.
They're the ones behind all the AI that you and I use on a daily basis,
expanding and sharpening its mind like a teacher.
I'm Rosie Bloor, and today on The Weeknd Intelligence,
my colleague of Antica Chocoti meets the people who are training those clever machines.
She encounters the real intelligence behind the artificial sort and those people are neither where nor who you might think they'd be.
What I told them is that I would be back to school in no time.
And so, you know, when starting the company, obviously,
I had no expectation that the company would go on to do as well as it has done.
And so Alex Wang is a college dropout.
He's also the most influential AI boss you've never heard of.
Alex looks like any Gen Z guy.
He has a mop of towels or black hair, and he's wearing a black t-shirt.
