In a remarkable development, “smart agents” are emerging as independent systems capable of carrying out complex tasks such as booking tickets and writing code without human intervention. These techniques rely on “sequential thinking” to solve problems step by step, and on “deep learning” and “neural networks” that mimic the human brain. Despite this progress, the phenomenon of “hallucinations,” where the system confidently provides false information, still poses a major challenge in sensitive sectors such as medicine and the media.
On a logistical level, the world is facing a crisis as a result of the huge demand for memory chips and processors (GPU) needed to train these models. Companies also resort to “fine-tuning” and “transfer learning” techniques to reduce costs and customize models, while “Tokens” remain the basic unit for text processing and cost calculations, as this technical language becomes a basic pillar of the economy and daily life.
