I’ve been thinking a lot about how AI can reduce some of the world’s worst inequities. It’s hard to imagine a better use of AIs than saving the lives of children. Nearly all of these children were born in poor countries and die of preventable causes like diarrhea or malaria. That’s down from 10 million two decades ago, but it’s still a shockingly high number. Globally, the worst inequity is in health: 5 million children under the age of 5 die every year. Philanthropy is my full-time job these days, and I’ve been thinking a lot about how-in addition to helping people be more productive-AI can reduce some of the world’s worst inequities. Businesses will distinguish themselves by how well they use it. Entire industries will reorient around it. It will change the way people work, learn, travel, get health care, and communicate with each other. The development of AI is as fundamental as the creation of the microprocessor, the personal computer, the Internet, and the mobile phone. This inspired me to think about all the things that AI can achieve in the next five to 10 years. I knew I had just seen the most important advance in technology since the graphical user interface. Once it had aced the test, we asked it a non-scientific question: “What do you say to a father with a sick child?” It wrote a thoughtful answer that was probably better than most of us in the room would have given.
We had an outside expert score the test, and GPT got a 5-the highest possible score, and the equivalent to getting an A or A+ in a college-level biology course. Then it wrote outstanding answers to six open-ended questions from the exam. In September, when I met with them again, I watched in awe as they asked GPT, their AI model, 60 multiple-choice questions from the AP Bio exam-and it got 59 of them right. I thought the challenge would keep them busy for two or three years. (I picked AP Bio because the test is more than a simple regurgitation of scientific facts-it asks you to think critically about biology.) If you can do that, I said, then you’ll have made a true breakthrough. Make it capable of answering questions that it hasn’t been specifically trained for. In mid-2022, I was so excited about their work that I gave them a challenge: train an artificial intelligence to pass an Advanced Placement biology exam. I’d been meeting with the team from OpenAI since 2016 and was impressed by their steady progress. The second big surprise came just last year.
#NOTA MOVIE NEAR ME WINDOWS#
Charles eventually joined Microsoft, Windows became the backbone of Microsoft, and the thinking we did after that demo helped set the company’s agenda for the next 15 years. I sat with the person who had shown me the demo, a brilliant programmer named Charles Simonyi, and we immediately started brainstorming about all the things we could do with such a user-friendly approach to computing. The first time was in 1980, when I was introduced to a graphical user interface-the forerunner of every modern operating system, including Windows. The new 11,000 square-foot venue includes a 271-seat movie theatre, the MUBI Microcinema, a beer and wine bar, and of course the famed video store, which now boasts 60,000 titles on DVD, Blu-ray and VHS.Īccording to Variety, the Vidiots calendar features seven days of weekly programming, including "repertory titles, new independent films, classics, all-ages programs and education and preservation initiatives." Programming partners include the Bob Baker Marionette Theater, IFC Midnight & Shudder, KCRW, Outfest, the UCLA Film & Television Archive, and Women in Film.In my lifetime, I’ve seen two demonstrations of technology that struck me as revolutionary. In June 2023, Vidiots celebrated its grand opening at the historic Eagle Theatre in Eagle Rock. Thanks to the efforts of Maggie Mackay, executive director of the nonprofit Vidiots Foundation since 2016, more than $2 million was raised for a capital campaign to revive Vidiots. When Vidiots closed in February 2017, the future of the collection was in doubt. institution, beloved for its 50,000-title rental collection and the sense of community it fostered among movie nerds. Opened by Patty Polinger and Cathy Tauber in 1985, Vidiots became an L.A.
