HOW DID AI SEEM TO ARRIVE SO QUICKLY? HOW DO WE MAKE SENSE OUT OF IT?


While at times it feels AI arrived in just a matter of a couple of years, the fact is it's been much longer in the making. Welcome to a quick journey that helps everyone understand how we arrived at this point and de-mystifies the conversation.


How do ChatGPT and large language models work in general? How do computers "see" images and learn from them to cure cancer or drive a car? How do these capabilities put words together to create compelling answers to questions or write essays? How can home or stock prices be predicted? We will jump into these and other questions to explain the building blocks without math and science degrees.


"AI in Human Terms explains the way in which these technologies work, providing me a good foundation."


"David strikes a good balance in making what feels like magic understandable and interesting."


"The best three hours to catch up on a technology that will have such a profound impact on our lives in the time to come."

David Lloyd

David Lloyd was born in Ludlow and went to the local Grammar School. In 1953 he won an exhibition to Balliol College, Oxford. He had a varied career in education, becoming Deputy Head of a large comprehensive school, and then teaching at the Open University and at the Department of Continuing Studies at Birmingham University.

He moved back to Ludlow in 1985, and was very much involved in the local community, holding several public offices, including that of Mayor and Churchwarden of St Laurence's parish church, Ludlow. In later years, David ran a series of very popular historical lectures in Ludlow and he frequently gave guided historical tours. He died on 17 May 2009.
