AI Myth: AI will soon replace all human jobs

One of the most pervasive myths about AI is the fear that it will replace all human jobs, leading to mass unemployment. While AI is transforming the workforce and automating certain tasks, the reality is more nuanced. While Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) and Artificial Super Intelligence (ASI) seem far off fictional creations, my answer to this question focusses on ANI.

Artificial Narrow Intelligence (ANI) in regulated industries

At Wyser, we focus on ANI, specifically fine-tuned language models, as we work with highly regulated industries that need assurance that AI will perform designated tasks without deviating from established standards. These models perform specific tasks related to natural language processing, such as voice to text generation, sentiment analysis, translation, summarisation, question answering, and categorisation.

Understanding the different types of AI

Given its wide range of technologies and capabilities, professionals must understand the different types of AI to effectively integrate it into their operations.

Unleashing Precision: The allure of small, specialised language models Vs Large Language Models (LLMs)

How these pint-sized powerhouses not only outshine their larger counterparts, but also provide a pragmatic solution to ethical concerns. Faster and more efficient, small, fine-tuned language models require significantly less computing power and offer a more accurate and transparent solution - essential for organisations operating in more regulated sectors.
