| | May 20208 IN MY OPINIONTHE AVATARS OF ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCEBy Abhijit Dasgupta, Director ­ BDVA & BDS, SP Jain School of Global ManagementACT-1: Soft AI There was an experiment held at San Fran-cisco recently by OpenAI, where an AI agent was interviewed by a human. This is not something new; for example, Disney Parks had such technology `cool stuff' way back in 2005 at their Tokyo theme park. 15 years back, those were novelties, and people perhaps did not understand much of its implications then, vis-à-vis the way that is experienced now. The name of the AI Agent was GPT-2, trained on 40 gi-gabytes of text from the internet on an unsupervised language model. Here are some of its (unedited) ¬answers to our questions on the big themes of 2020.Q. Which technologies are worth watch-ing in 2020?A. I would say it is hard to narrow down the list. The world is full of disruptive technologies with real and potentially huge global impacts. The most important is artificial intelligence, which is becom-ing exponentially more powerful. There is also the development of self-driving cars.
