Business Book Club Meetup #45 - What Is ChatGPT Doing ... and Why Does It Work?

Hi everyone,

Business Book Club Meetup #45 is on:

• Thursday, May 25th, 19:30

• BOOK: What Is ChatGPT Doing ... and Why Does It Work? by Stephen Wolfram

Nobody expected this—not even its ChatGPT has burst onto the scene as an AI capable of writing at a convincingly human level. But how does it really work? What's going on inside its "AI mind"? In this short book, prominent scientist and computation pioneer Stephen Wolfram provides a readable and engaging explanation that draws on his decades-long unique experience at the frontiers of science and technology. Find out how the success of ChatGPT brings together the latest neural net technology with foundational questions about language and human thought posed by Aristotle more than two thousand years ago.
